Question:

Match List - I with List - II (Wavelength Solar Spectrum).

List - IList - II
A. Ultraviolet Region
B. Visible Region
C. Infrared Region
D. Wavelength above 2500 nm
I. 9%
II. 45%
III. 46%
IV. Negligible

Show Hint

Standard solar radiation spectrum distribution: \[ \begin{aligned} \text{Ultraviolet} &\approx 9% \text{Visible} &\approx 45% \text{Infrared} &\approx 46% \end{aligned} \] These percentages are extremely important for solar energy and renewable energy examinations.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Solar radiation reaching the Earth consists of ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation. Each region contributes a specific percentage of the total solar energy: Ultraviolet → 9%, Visible → 45%, Infrared → 46%, radiation above 2500 nm is negligible.

StepExplanation
1. Ultraviolet RegionShort wavelength, high photon energy, ~9% of solar radiation → A → I
2. Visible RegionDetectable by human eye, major portion of solar energy, ~45% → B → II
3. Infrared RegionLonger wavelength, thermal energy, ~46% → C → III
4. Wavelength above 2500 nmExtremely small contribution → negligible → D → IV
5. Final MatchingA-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV → Correct option: (A)
