← ScienceWhich mechanism causes signal degradation when radio waves propagate through dense urban environments?
A)Multipath interference due to reflections✓
B)Atmospheric absorption from oxygen levels
C)Ionospheric refraction from plasma density
D)Doppler shift from satellite movement
💡 Explanation
When radio waves propagate in dense urban environments, reflections from buildings create multiple signal paths, causing multipath interference that degrades signal quality due to phase differences and superposition of signals. Therefore multipath interference results, rather than atmospheric absorption, ionospheric refraction, or Doppler shift which dominate in different conditions.
