Diffraction allows UHF waves to bend around obstacles in their path, reaching areas that would otherwise be obstructed by line-of-sight barriers. This bending effect enables UHF waves to propagate beyond obstacles and extend their range, improving coverage in urban environments and overcoming shadowing effects.
In a transverse wave, the direction of wave propagation is perpendicular to the direction of the wave oscillation.
Ground wave propagation becomes less suitable for higher frequencies because the signal tends to be absorbed by the ground more efficiently, resulting in shorter range and reduced coverage. At higher frequencies, signals are more likely to be affected by atmospheric conditions and obstacles, making ground wave propagation less reliable compared to other propagation methods like line-of-sight or ionospheric propagation.
In a longitudinal wave, the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points that are in phase with each other. The propagation direction of the wave is the direction in which the wave is moving. The relationship between the wavelength and the propagation direction in a longitudinal wave is that the wavelength is parallel to the propagation direction.
In a transverse wave, the particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In a longitudinal wave, the particles oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Well, it's often referred to as the direction of propagation of the wave.

Wave propagation
In a longitudinal wave, the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points that are in phase with each other. The propagation direction of the wave is the direction in which the wave is moving. The relationship between the wavelength and the propagation direction in a longitudinal wave is that the wavelength is parallel to the propagation direction.
In a transverse wave, the particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In a longitudinal wave, the particles oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Space wave propagation frequency is nothing special, it is the same frequency of the wave in question, for example WLAN Wifi produces 5.2 GHz radio wave from your computer or from router, so that would be the the space wave propagation frequency in question
... wave's speed of propagation.
Well, it's often referred to as the direction of propagation of the wave.
Particles in a transverse wave vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. In a longitudinal wave, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.
"Propagation" means the process of the wave getting from here to there.
In activity 1 part c, the medium of wave propagation is air.
