Which mechanism explains radio wave diffraction around buildings?

💡 Explanation

Diffraction allows radio waves to bend around obstacles because Huygens' principle describes each point on a wavefront as a secondary source of wavelets, which reform the propagating fields; therefore, waves bend, rather than traveling linearly or attenuating.
