diffraction is when light is bent around obstructions. which of these observations about clouds would indicate diffraction? a after rain storms, you can sometimes see rainbows. b clouds are white or gray and cannot be seen through. c on a cloudy day, the temperature tends to be cooler than a sunny day. d the edges of dark clouds appear lighter. this often called a silver lining.
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
Diffraction is light - bending around obstacles. The silver lining (lighter edges of dark clouds) is due to light bending around the cloud particles, which is diffraction. Rainbows are due to refraction and dispersion, cloud color and opacity are related to scattering and absorption, and temperature difference is related to cloud's role in heat transfer.
# Answer:
D. The edges of dark clouds appear lighter. This often called a silver lining.
