How do CFC's damage the ozone layer?

Geography
2 answers:
Molodets [167]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

The CFC’s damage the Ozone layer by breaking down the molecules that make up the Ozone layer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The ultra-violet rays radiated by the sun react with the chlorofluorocarbons to release "free chlorine atoms" in the atmosphere.
  • These free chlorine atoms react with oxygen from the ozone to form diatomic or molecular oxygen. This process continues and further destroys the ozone layer resulting in its depletion.
  • The ozone molecules are capable of keeping harmful UV rays away from the earth's atmosphere. But the molecular oxygen fails to do that, thus allowing harmful UV rays to enter the earth's atmosphere.

When ultraviolet light waves strike CFC molecules in the upper atmosphere, a carbon chlorine bond breaks, producing a chlorine atom. The chlorine atom then reacts with an ozone molecule breaking it apart and so destroying the ozone

Select the reasons why most professional telescopes are reflectors rather than refractors.
Julli [10]

Answer:

d). It is easier to make a large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

f). A reflector can collect more light than a refractor.

Explanation:

A telescope is a device that is used to observe distant objects by the use of lenses and mirrors. It is also used to observe different distant objects by their reflection, absorption, emission or the reflection of the electromagnetic radiations.

Most of the professional telescopes are reflectors because :

1. The reflected telescope is able to receive more of the light when it reflects all the light falling on surface. And it is easier for making a large telescope rather then making large lenses for the refracting telescope. So it is easier to make large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

2. A reflected telescope receives all the wavelength of the light and it reflects all the light falling on the surfaces where it is refracted telescope that contains lenses cannot absorbs all the light and causes the chromatic aberration.
