← ScienceWhich mechanism reduces radio wave propagation range in urban canyons?
A)Diffraction around building corners
B)Attenuation through atmospheric aerosols
C)Multipath interference from reflections✓
D)Refraction due to temperature gradients
💡 Explanation
When radio waves propagate in urban environments, multipath interference occurs because the waves reflect off buildings, creating multiple paths that interfere constructively and destructively, reducing signal strength and range. Therefore signal nulls lead to lower propagation range, rather than diffraction, attenuation, or refraction which have different effects.
