Radio Waves Diffraction

Assertion (A): Radio waves cannot be diffracted by the buildings.
Reason (R): The wavelength of radio waves is very small.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Radio waves have wavelengths comparable to or larger than buildings \( \text{meters to kilometers}\), enabling them to diffract easily around obstacles. Thus, A is false. The wavelength of radio waves is large, not small. Thus, R is false.
