← ScienceWhich outcome compromises signal clarity when high-frequency signals propagate through underwater acoustic sensor cables?
A)Electron tunneling degrades signal integrity✓
B)Increased inductance causes impedance mismatch
C)Structural deformation induces piezoelectric noise
D)Hydrostatic pressure causes insulation breakdown
💡 Explanation
Signal degradation occurs because electron tunneling across imperfect insulation provides unintended current paths bypassing the intended signal path. Therefore, the signal is lost, rather than experiencing inductance mismatch or other environment-related effects in intact cable structures.
