None of the statements are accurate. Radiation with shorter wavelengths is more likely to cause wide variations in Total Solar Irradiance. Additionally, both longer and shorter wavelength radiation is emitted in various intensities and is not always emitted steadily and constantly from the sun.

Answer 2

is that correct

Apologies for any confusion. In terms of the four statements given, the most accurate statement would be "Radiation with the shortest wavelengths is most likely to cause wide variation in Total Solar Irradiance." This is because shorter wavelength radiation (such as ultraviolet and X-rays) is more energetic and can have a greater impact on the fluctuation of solar energy reaching Earth. However, it is important to note that solar radiation can vary in intensity and is not always emitted steadily and constantly from the sun.
