Q. $CO_{2},CH_{4},N_{2}O\$and $CFCs\$are called green house gases, because they can absorb

A) Ultraviolet radiation
B) Long wave infra-red radiation
C) Visible light radiation
D) X-rays radiation
Explanation

Green house gases are those gases, which are transparent to solar radiations but retain and partially reflect back long wave heat radiations, i.e., infra red radiations. The various green house gases are $\mathbf{C}\mathbf{O}_{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{,C}\mathbf{H}_{\mathbf{4}}\mathbf{,CFCs,\ }\mathbf{N}_{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{O,\ }\mathbf{O}_{\mathbf{3}}\mathbf{\ }$and water vapours.
