← ScienceWhich 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.
