In free space, an electromagnetic wave of \(3 \; GHz\) of \(3 \; GHz\) frequency strikes over the edge of an object of size \(\frac{\lambda}{100}\), where \(\lambda\) is the wavelength of the wave in free space. The phenomenon, which happens there will be .....
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Scattering
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\frac{ a }{\lambda}=\frac{1}{100}\)
For reflection size of obstacle must be much larger than wavelength, for diffraction size should be order of wavelength.
Since the object is of size \(\frac{\lambda}{100}\), much smaller than wavelength, so scattering will occur.
