Which effect results when atmospheric temperature inversion impacts radio wave propagation?

A)Extended signal range beyond horizon
B)Reduced signal strength from absorption
C)Increased interference due to reflection
D)Frequency shift from Doppler effect

💡 Explanation

When a temperature inversion occurs, warm air traps cool air, causing refraction of radio waves because the change in density alters their path, leading to extended propagation range. Therefore, increased reach beyond the horizon results, rather than absorption, interference, or frequency shift, which stem from different atmospheric phenomena.
