What is defined as the weakening of signal amplitude as the signal passes through a medium?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Attenuation:Describes the progressive loss of signal strength as it travels through a medium (like air, cables, walls). It's caused by factors like absorption, distance, and obstacles.

Other Phenomena:

Diffraction:Bending of waves around obstacles.

Reflection:Waves bouncing off surfaces.

**Scattering: ** Waves dispersing in multiple directions.

Reflection and diffraction are different concepts. C is the best choice.

Wasn't there a practice question about how signals weaken? I feel like it was related to attenuation too.
