Radio Wave Question: Reception Better for Low or High Frequencies?

[fran1942]

Homework Statement

If we placed a radio receiver inside a cage made of 100mm grid wire mesh, would the radio reception be better for low (eg 1 MHz) or high (eg cellphone) radio frequencies. Explain

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I think the reception would be better for high frequencies because the the corresponding wavelength would be smaller therefore matching the small wire mesh size better and passing though with less interference.

Can someone please confirm if I am on the right track here ?

Thanks kindly for any help.
