The wavelength at which the O 2 molecule most strongly absorbs light is approximately 145 nm. (a)

Question:

The wavelength at which the O2 molecule most strongly absorbs light is approximately 145 nm. 

(a) In which region of the electromagnetic spectrum does this light fall?
(b) Would a photon whose wavelength is 145 nm have enough energy to photodissociate O2 whose bond energy is 495 kJ/mol? Would it have enough energy to photoionize O2?
