When a car approaches you, the sound waves that reach you have a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency. You hear a sound with a higher pitch. When the car moves away from you, the sound waves that reach you have a longer wavelength and lower frequency.

An approaching source moves closer during period of the sound wave so the effective wavelength is shortened, giving a higher pitch since the velocity of the wave is unchanged. Similarly the pitch of a receding sound source will be lowered.
The Doppler effect is an effect observed in light and sound waves as they move toward or away from an observer. One simple example of the Doppler effect is the sound of an automobile horn. Picture a person standing on a street corner. A car approaches, blowing its horn.
Comparing two waves of the same wavelength, a higher frequency is associated with faster movement. Comparing two waves of different wavelengths, a higher frequency doesn't always indicate faster movement, although it can. Waves of different wavelengths can have the same frequency.
The pitch of a sound is our ear's response to the frequency of sound. Whereas loudness depends on the energy of the wave. ... The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency while loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of sound waves.
Answer:
I'd say C is the answer they want, though my pedantic side wants to argue for B being true as well.
The color of light that a star emits is somewhat related to its age, whereas the color of light that we actually <em>observe</em> from a star is related to the speed at which it's moving with respect to us.
Magnitude of acceleration
Explanation:
We know that acceleration can increase depending in the force applied on an object, any object with a greater mass will apply a greater force. F = M(a).
