Which outcome occurs when a submarine's sonar transducer malfunctions during signal propagation?

💡 Explanation

Malfunctioning sonar leads to increased signal backscatter and noise because damaged transducers introduce impedance mismatches causing inefficient acoustic energy transfer. Therefore , signal clarity decreases rather than improves, because the signal becomes corrupted and unable to resolve objects.
