The document discusses ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. It notes that UV radiation is found in sunlight and is a form of electromagnetic radiation with shorter wavelengths than visible light. While UV radiation can be beneficial in moderating amounts, overexposure can cause skin cancer and other health issues. The document provides information on sources of UV radiation besides the sun, as well as the effects of UV on the ozone layer and how to reduce risks from UV exposure like sunburn and skin cancer.

13. Input And Out Energy In Photosynthesis www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com PHOTOSYNTHESIS Input Energy comes from the light absorbed by the leaves Output Energy is provided by Respiration when starch is used up.

14. SUNLIGHT ENERGY & SELECTIVE ABSORPTION www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com What is selective Absorption? Leaves absorb the red and blue light from sunlight when it falls on leaves but reflect other colours-This process is called selective absorption

16. www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com A layer in the Earth's atmosphere that contains relatively high concentrations of ozone ( often written as O 3 ) is called OZONE LAYER OZONE OR O 3 LAYER
