In free space, an electromagnetic wave 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:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

Scattering

Option D (Scattering) is correct. When the size of the object is much smaller than the wavelength of the wave, scattering is the dominant phenomenon.
