Which type of solar radiation is the most powerful?

Gamma ray outbursts are an extremely dangerous sort of radiation.
Gamma rays have the most energy on the electromagnetic spectrum
They also have the shortest wave length.
If a gamma ray burst hit us, the rays would instantly destroy half of the ozone layer, stripping away our most important protective layer. This would cause mass extinction as the other uv rays from our sun would kill us

Answer:

The type of solar radiation that is the most powerful is the Ultraviolet Radiation.

Explanation:

Ultraviolet Radiation is the radiation that has the shortest wavelength (360 nanometers), which carries a lot of energy and interferes with molecular bonds. Especially those less than 300 nanometers, which can alter DNA molecules, very important for life. These waves are absorbed by the upper part of the atmosphere, especially by the ozone layer.

The damage that ultraviolet rays can cause to humans include effects on the skin such as irritation, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, spots and cancer; also possible conditions at the ocular level and can trigger systemic lupus erythematosus.
