Which acoustic outcome occurs when a bat's sonar frequencies shift downward sharply?

💡 Explanation

Doppler shift echoes rise in frequency as a bat approaches a moth; the bat uses Doppler shift compensation (DSC). If the bat's emission drops, DSC cannot correctly subtract motion-induced echo shifts. Therefore, speed and location are miscalculated rather than accurately mapped.
