Q: 15
As an RF wave propagates through space, the wave front experiences natural expansion that reduces
its signal strength in an are
a. What describes the rate at which this expansion happens?

Option A is tempting, but I think it's actually C. Fresnel zone thinning isn't about overall signal loss with distance.
Why is everyone picking A? Only C matches the rate of RF energy spreading out in open space, not Fresnel clearance.
C tbh. Fresnel is the usual trap on these, but only C covers how distance alone reduces signal as the wavefront spreads.
Kind of feel like A fits too since Fresnel zone thinning involves signal issues over distance, so I'll say A.
Definitely C here
C again. Had something like this in a mock and inverse square law was the right pick. It describes how RF signal strength drops off as distance increases. Fresnel zone is a different concept so pretty sure it isn't A. Agree?
Probably C here. The inverse square law is always what comes up in official materials and study guides when talking about RF propagation dropoff with distance. Seen this on a couple of practice tests too. If anyone's unsure, the official CWNA guide explains it pretty simply.
