Owls communicate using long-wavelength hoots, while songbirds use short-wavelength tweets. Which of the sounds can be heard over a greater distance in a forest?(1 point)

Question

Responses

tweet of the songbird
hoot of the owl
Both the hoot and tweet will travel the same distance through the forest.
Neither the hoot nor the tweet will be able to penetrate the forest.

Answer 1

The hoot of the owl can be heard over a greater distance in a forest due to its long-wavelength sound frequency, which travels farther and penetrates through obstacles better than short-wavelength sounds like the tweet of a songbird.
