Answer:

C) is apparently the answer required

Infrared tans, and you know that visible light and radio waves reach the ground

Ultraviolet is considered to be light shorter than 400 millimicrons

Some ultraviolet passes thru the atmosphere - (maybe 300-400 mυ)

Ordinary window glass absorbs light shorter than about 380 mυ

Some UV light is transmitted by the atmosphere

Normally, UV is divided into UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C and UV-A is transmitted by the atmosphere
