Which of the following wavelengths of radiation has the highest bacterial efficiency?

Which of the following wavelengths of radiation has the highest bacterial efficiency? Correct Answer 265 nm

The wavelengths around 265 nm has the highest bacterial efficiency. The radiation of 265 nm is absorbed by cellular components, leading to DNA damage and cell death. X-rays and Gamma rays are considered to be more lethal.

The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse because some of the sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere to reach the moon.
