A. Gama- Rays
B. X- Rays
C. Ultraviolet Radiation
D. Visible Rays
E. Infrared Radiation
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
C, D and E Only
The correct answer is:
✅ Option 4: C, D and E Only
Explanation:
Gamma Rays (A) – Mostly absorbed by the Earth’s atmosphere, do not reach the surface.
X-Rays (B) – Also absorbed by the atmosphere, negligible at the surface.
Ultraviolet Radiation (C) – Partially reaches the Earth (mostly UV-A and some UV-B).
Visible Rays (D) – Fully reach the Earth, major component of solar radiation.
Infrared Radiation (E) – Partially reaches the Earth, contributes to heating.
So, only UV, Visible, and Infrared radiation reach the Earth as part of solar radiation.
✔ Correct answer: C, D and E
