Which limit occurs in underwater acoustic communications because of increasing frequency?

A)Increased signal attenuation loss rates
B)Enhanced mode scattering efficiency gain
C)Reduced Doppler shift compensation range
D)Minimal bandwidth compression advantages

💡 Explanation

Increased frequency enhances the **sound absorption mechanism**, causing greater energy dissipation during acoustic wave propagation. Therefore, signal attenuation increases at higher frequencies deep underwater, rather than enhanced propagation, because absorption dominates.
