Earthquakes often cause buildings between 12 and 40 stories high to vibrate at an amplitude high enough to be destructive. Buildings are often designed to absorb this energy that might cause vibration at their natural frequency. This is an example of
diffraction
resonance
Doppler effect
refraction

120s - Q13
The Doppler effect is best described as the
shift in the observed frequency and wavelength of a wave caused by the relative motion between the wave’s source and an observer
bending of waves as they pass by obstacles or through openings
creation of a standing wave from two waves traveling in opposite directions in the same medium
change in speed of a wave as the wave moves from one medium to another
