Answer:
The frequency increases, and the pitch increases
Explanation:
- Doppler's law of sound is applicable in such case when the observer or the sound source or both are moving relative to each other.
- In such a case due to space-time constraint the waveform of the sound adjust themselves so as to obey the law of conservation of energy.
<u>The apparent frequency of the sound for the observer is given by:</u>
....................................(1)
where:
observed frequency
original source frequency
speed of sound
speed of source relative to the observer (taken negative when approaching towards the observer and vice-versa)
speed of observer relative to the source (taken negative when moving away from the source and vice-versa)
<u>According to the given situation, eq. (1) becomes:</u>
Since,
Therefore
Pitch is very closely related to the frequency, it means that how fast is the amplitude of sound varying with time.
