Which outcome results when a radio wave encounters a conductive wire that exceeds its skin depth?

💡 Explanation

When the conductive wire exceeds the radio wave's skin depth, the electromagnetic field induces eddy currents that experience Ohmic loss via resistive heating because the skin effect causes exponential attenuation of the radio wave within the conductor, therefore the energy is dissipated, rather than propagating or reflecting.
