← ScienceWhich outcome reduces visibility when thermal gradients exist?
A)Atmospheric coherence loses consistent phase✓
B)Molecular clouds fully absorb light
C)Rayleigh scattering becomes greatly amplified
D)Electromagnetic radiation shifts into infrared
💡 Explanation
Atmospheric distortion increases if coherence is lost because increased temperature variations cause random interference in propagation of light; therefore detail decreases, rather than increased scattering, because refraction changes light trajectories.
