why can radio waves go around very big objects such as buildings and mountains?

Asked by jomagahngo3540

Answer (1)

Because radio waves have long wavelengths. Long wavelengths can bend or diffract around large objects like buildings or mountains. This allows them to continue traveling even if the path isn’t straight.Unlike light waves, which are short and travel in straight lines, radio waves can curve and pass through certain materials. That’s why you can still get a radio signal even if you’re not in direct line of sight from the transmitter.
