Ultrasound is a medical technique that transmits sound waves through soft tissue in the human body. Ultrasound waves can break kidney stones into tiny fragments, making it easier for them to be excreted without pain. The shattering of kidney stones with specific frequencies of sound waves is an application of which wave phenomenon?

Resonance is the wave phenomenon which is used to shatter kidney stones.

Explanation:  

Resonance is defined as a phenomena in which the external force or the vibrating object makes another object to vibrate with greater amplitude at greater frequencies .Example of resonance is playground swing.

The principle of resonance is that when two frequencies meet or brought together the lower frequency always tends to meet higher frequencies.

Lithotripsy is the process which is used to remove kidney stones and it is a non invasive treatment.

The ultrasound shock wave is used to break larger stone to small one and is excreted without pain.
