Best answer

For the diffractions to take place, the size of the obstacle should be of the order of wavelength of incident waves. Radio waves have wavelength of a few metres and hence comparable to the size of the walls. In case of light waves, the wavelength is of the order of 10-7 m and not comparable to size of wall.

Hence radio waves diffract more pronouncedly.
