Question
________ occurs at the edge of an impenetrable body that is large compared to the wavelength of the radio wave. When a radio wave encounters such an edge, waves propagate in different directions with the edge as the source. Thus, signals can be received even when there is no unobstructed line-of-sight from the transmitter.Answer
This answer is hidden. It contains 11 characters.
