Which mechanism influences radar echo strength from raindrops?

A)Rayleigh scattering increases signal loss
B)Mie scattering modifies diffraction patterns
C)Brewster's angle reduces reflectance
D)Compton scattering shifts echo frequency

💡 Explanation

Mie scattering strongly affects signal strength because changes in raindrop size alter constructive and destructive interference of the propagated waves; therefore, signal return deviates from the Rayleigh approximation for smaller particles, rather than behaving similarly.
