Which phenomenon limits signal propagation distance wireless communication?

💡 Explanation

Atmospheric absorption increases with frequency; the electromagnetic energy dissipation causes signal power decline, thus shrinking the propagation range, because radiant power is converted to heat rather than reflected by atmospheric scattering. Therefore, radio waves attenuate rather than maintain a strong signal across long distances.
