← ScienceWhich mechanism causes reduced wireless range in humid environments?
A)Water vapor absorption of signal✓
B)Increased atmospheric ionization
C)Constructive wave front interference
D)Reduced antenna impedance matching
💡 Explanation
Wireless range weakens due to water vapor absorption; signal energy turns partly into molecular kinetic energy. Because microwaves excite rotational modes of water, therefore absorption increases, rather than ionization that happens at high enough EM frequency conditions.
