Which of the following is the bets option?

a) Both the hoot and tweet will travel the same distance through the forest.

b) Neither the hoot nor the tweet will be able to penetrate the forest.

d) hoot of the owl

1 answer

d) Hoot of the owl.

Long-wavelength sounds, such as hoots, can travel farther through obstacles like trees and vegetation, while short-wavelength sounds like tweets are absorbed more easily and do not travel as far. Therefore, the hoot of the owl can be heard over a greater distance in a forest.
