Which outcome occurs when a radio wave encounters a sudden increase in atmospheric electron density at the ionosphere?

💡 Explanation

Increased atmospheric electron density causes increased wave refraction because the refractive index changes abruptly, therefore, the wave bends following Snell's law rather than propagating straight through; these conditions alter the propagation direction.
