← TechnologyWhich effect diminishes a satellite signal's strength through rain?
A)Atmospheric absorption✓
B)Refractive beam bending
C)Selective frequency attenuation
D)Signal phase inversion
💡 Explanation
Signal attenuation occurs because water molecules absorb electromagnetic energy via atmospheric absorption, dropping signal strength; therefore, signal power diminishes rather than being refracted or having specific frequencies selectively reduced.
