17.

In a spectrophotometer, the slit and the material surrounding the slit will absorb light because absorbing light is necessary feature for the slit to allow only small portion of visible light spectrum through

Prisms also transmit light

Most light is absorbed around 300 nm and the least amount of light is absorbed between 350 nm to 500 nm

visible light is between 400 and 700 nm. Ozone does not absorb light at this wavelength range and therefore light is transmitted through the ozone (this means that ozone transmits visible light to us on Earth)

UV light has a wavelength of 300 nm. Ozone absorbs most of the UV light so less UV is transmitted to Earth because it is absorbed by the ozone layer. Ozone therefore helps to protect us from sunburns because UV cannot penetrate through the atmosphere.
