← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a radio wave experiences Fresnel diffraction?
A)Signal strength oscillates in space✓
B)Doppler shift reverses polarity quickly
C)Carrier frequency shifts erratically.
D)Data packets experience phase scrambling
💡 Explanation
Signal strength variation arises when objects obstruct the planar wavefronts and far-field Fraunhofer patterns do not develop; thus, Fresnel diffraction causes reinforcement/cancellation because the Huygens–Fresnel principle dictates interference rather than reflection under imperfect conditions.
