Which mechanism explains why radio wave signal weakens rapidly behind a large metal building?

💡 Explanation

When radio waves encounter a conductive enclosure, the Faraday cage effect causes electric fields to induce currents that cancel out the interior field due to electromagnetic induction. Therefore, a rapid signal drop occurs inside a building rather than through pure diffraction, Doppler effects related to motion or ground reflection alone.
