In Remote Sensing, the places where energy (wavelength) passes with limited or no absorption is called _____
Atmospheric window
Atmospheric window option is correct.
The Earth's atmosphere selectively absorbs, scatters and transmits incoming and outgoing electromagnetic radiation. Certain wavelength ranges (notably parts of the visible, near-infrared, thermal-infrared 8–14 µm and microwave regions) suffer very little absorption by atmospheric gases such as water vapour, ozone and carbon dioxide, so radiation in these bands reaches remote-sensing sensors with minimal loss.
These transmission bands are called atmospheric windows and they define the wavelengths at which passive and active remote-sensing instruments (Landsat, Sentinel, MODIS, radar) are designed to operate. Sabins and Lillesand & Kiefer both use this term precisely for regions where energy passes with limited or no absorption.
Rayleigh scattering and the Raman effect are scattering phenomena, not transmission windows, and Aurora borealis is an ionospheric emission unrelated to sensor bandpass design.
