Hello,
I'm sorry if this is too simple of question... "How does RF travel through outer
space?".
I will be teaching a class in which this question will come up. I want to be
prepared with all the basic science behind this principal. I need an
explaination that is simple and easy to understand.
People seem to have no problem understanding how waves can travel through mass
such as a body of water but can not understand how it can travel where there is
no mass. I also understand that there is a lot of debate over how Light travels
through space (photons and all).
Also, I understand that RF signals degrade at a rate of 1/distance(squared).
What force is causing this attenuation?
Try to keep it simple for my audience it not all that technical. Appreciate the
help. Please forgive any improper punctuation or word misuse.
Brian
