It is dangerous to observe Solar eclipse with naked eyes because

A. Infrared radiations from sun burn our retina

B. Ultraviolet radiations from Sun burn our retina

C. All radiations from sun initiate chemical reactions in eyes

D. Cosmic rays reach eyes more during the eclipse

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Exposing your eyes to the sun without proper eye protection during a solar eclipse can cause “eclipse blindness” or retinal burns, also known as solar retinopathy. This exposure to the light can cause damage or even destroy cells in the retina (the back of the eye) that transmit what you see to the brain.
