, X-rays X-rays: High frequency electromagnetic radiation, used for medical imaging. , most of the ultraviolet and some of the infrared [infrared radiation: Electromagnetic radiation emitted from a hot object. ] are absorbed by the atmosphere and do not reach the Earthâs surface.ight, some infrared, some ultraviolet ultraviolet radiation: Electromagnetic radiation with a frequency between that of visible light and X-rays. , and microwaves microwaves: Electromagnetic radiation with a frequency between that of visible light and radio waves.
UV-A is the least damaging (longest wavelength) form of UV radiation and reaches the Earth in greatest quantity. Most UV-A rays pass right through the ozone layer in the stratosphere. UV-B radiation can be very harmful. Fortunately, most of the sun's UV-B radiation is absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere. UV-C radiation is potentially the most damaging because it is very energetic. Fortunately, all UV-C is absorbed by oxygen and ozone in the stratosphere and never reaches the Earth's surface.
