← ScienceWhich effect occurs when amplitude modulated radio waves encounter a tall building?
A)Multipath propagation creates signal distortion✓
B)Doppler shift alters perceived frequency
C)Diffraction increases signal wavelength
D)Refraction focuses signal to nearby areas
💡 Explanation
When radio waves encounter a tall object, multipath propagation occurs as the signal reflects off the building, creating interfering waves at the receiver causing distortion. Therefore signal distortion results, rather than Doppler shift, diffraction, or refraction, because those require motion or changes in media density.
