Option C Solution: A type of glass that contains cerium and other rare earths and has a high absorption of ultraviolet radiation is used in sunglasses. Sunglasses or sun glasses are a form of protective eyewear designed primarily to prevent bright sunlight and high-energy visible light from damaging or discomforting the eyes. They can sometimes also function as a visual aid, as variously termed spectacles or glasses exist, featuring lenses that are coloured, polarized or darkened. In the early 20th century they were also known as sun cheaters. The colour of the lens can vary depending on style, fashion, and purpose, but for general use, red, grey, green, or brown are recommended to avoid or minimize colour distortion, which could affect safety when, for instance, driving a car or a school bus.
