The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was opened to traffic on July 1, 1940 and collapsed on November 7, 1940. One theory created for the bridge's failure is that the pressure of the wind caused the natural frequencies of the bridge to move. This condition is called —

• amplification
• reflection
• diffraction
• resonance
