Which distortion occurs when a signal encounters multiple reflective surfaces?

💡 Explanation

Multipath propagation fading leads to signal degradation because signals arrive at the receiver via multiple paths causing constructive and destructive interference, therefore reducing signal strength. This occurs rather than dispersion or mixing because of reflections alone.
