Solution

The correct option is B False
Sunlight consists of many wavelengths.
The longer wavelengths from the sun causes heat by vibrating electrons in the substances that absorbs these wavelengths light. Thus, the infrared radiation is responsible for warming the earth's surface. Infrared light is reflected more than ultraviolet or visible light due to its longer wavelengths.
Hence above statement is false.
