Which effect occurs when amplitude modulated radio waves encounter a tall building?

💡 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.
