Which mechanism causes increased path loss in millimeter-wave communication?

💡 Explanation

Increased atmospheric absorption occurs because electromagnetic energy converts to kinetic energy via molecular resonance. Therefore, millimeter wave signal strength attenuates more rapidly with distance, rather than being easily reflected/refracted as in lower bands.
