The phenomena involved in the reflection of radio waves by ionosphere are similar to

A

Reflection of light by a plane mirro

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 light by the particles of air

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The phenomenon involved in the reflection of radiowaves by ionosphere is similar to total internal reflection of light in air during a mirage i.e., angle of incidence is greater than critical angle.
