The depth of penetration of a wave into a conductor falls as the frequency rises. A practical consequence is

  • A.thicker metal is needed at higher frequencies for screening
  • B.screening becomes impossible above a certain frequency
  • C.the screen must be of magnetic rather than conducting material
  • D.thin metal foil screens high frequencies effectively

Answer: D

A few micrometres of aluminium is many skin depths at a gigahertz, so a metallised plastic film screens as well as a sheet of metal. At mains frequency, by contrast, several millimetres of copper are needed and high permeability material is preferred.
