The phenomena involved in the reflected of radio waves by ionosphere is similar to.

Options

A. reflection of light by a plane mirror
B. total internal reflection of light in air during a mirage
C. dispersion of light by water molecules during the formation of a rainbow
D. scattering of ligt by the particles of air

Explanation

To solve the question regarding the phenomena involved in the reflection of radio waves by the ionosphere, we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Ionosphere**:
- The ionosphere is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is ionized by solar and cosmic radiation. This ionization causes variations in the refractive index of the medium.

**Hint**: Recall that the ionosphere is important for radio wave propagation due to its ionized particles.
