← Nature & AnimalsWhich characteristic changes due to vocal attenuation in forest bird calls?
A)Call amplitude declines sharply with distance✓
B)Signal duration elongates linearly across space
C)Dominant frequency is masked completely
D)Source code (syntax) becomes encrypted
💡 Explanation
Call amplitude decreases as acoustic energy spreads; forests cause additional scattering and absorption attenuation. It is reduced amplitude causing low signal and high miss-rate for a bird needing to hear the call, because frequency shifts or code corruption are less affected and require extreme circumstances rather than normal decay.
