Options:

Travel with speed target than c

Have much larger wavelength than light

Carry news

Are not electromagnetic waves

Correct Answer:

Have much larger wavelength than light

Explanation:

Diffraction takes places when the wavelength of wave is comparable with the size of the obstacle in path. The wavelength of radio waves is greater than the wavelength of light waves. Therefore, radio waves are diffracted around building
