The spectral region of electromagnetic radiation that passes through the atmosphere without much attenuation is known as :

  • A.ozone hole
  • B.atmospheric window
  • C.ozone window
  • D.black hole

Answer: B

The region is the atmospheric window.

Atmospheric windows are wavelength bands where gases absorb little, so radiation passes through. The main ones are the visible and near-infrared region and the thermal infrared window at about 8 to 14 µm, through which the Earth radiates to space and which satellite sensors use.

The ozone hole is the springtime thinning of stratospheric ozone over Antarctica. 'Ozone window' is not a standard term, and a black hole is an astronomical object.
