Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Any point on a wave front may be considered as a source of spherical or circular wavelets.
Diffraction aids radio reception because the waves spreading through openings or around barriers that allow the waves of the radio to reach various places.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the diffraction aids radio reception.
