Which risk increases when a naval sonar array broadcasts at high intensity?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation can occur because increased acoustic intensity lowers the local pressure, leading to vapor bubble formation and collapse (acoustic cavitation). The resulting shock damages array transducers; therefore it is the significant risk, rather than other electrical or thermal effects.
