In what form is solar energy is radiated from the sun?

A Ultraviolet Radiation
B Infrared radiation
C Electromagnetic waves
D Transverse waves

Correct Answer: Electromagnetic waves

Solar energy is radiated from the sun in the form of electromagnetic waves of shorter wavelength of 0.2 to 0.4 micrometers. Out of all the solar energy radiations reaching the earth’s atmosphere, 8% is ultraviolet radiation, 40% is visible range light and 46% is by infrared radiation.
