Answer:

Over 95% of incoming ultraviolet radiation is absorbed in :

A. The Stratosphere.

Explanation:

  • Stratosphere is the second layer of the earth's atmosphere that lies next to the troposphere.
  • This layer experiences very little turbulence of air and is very significant because of the presence of Ozone layer in it.
  • The UV rays entering the Earth's atmosphere, photo dissociates ozone into O₂ and O. But these molecules quickly recombine to form ozone.Thus, stabilizing the concentration of ozone in the atmosphere.
  • During this photo dissociation UV radiations loses much of its energy. Thus, 95% of incoming Ultraviolet radiation gets absorbed in the Stratosphere.
  • Absorption of ozone UV radiation increases exponentially with the thickness of ozone layer.
