Why does the pitch of sound increase when a listener move towards a stationary source?
Yes, the frequency is higher - same as if the moving source was towards a stationary person -it is all relative
The apparent change in frequency as a wave source moves in relation to the listener is called?
The Doppler effect is that apparent change of the frequency of a moving object when someone is stationary. A car may seem to get louder as it gets closer to a person and then the sound will drop as the car gets away.
What property of sound changes due to Doppler Effect?
The frequency of any wave system, sound or electromagnetic, will be changed by the source object moving towards us, or away from us. Ascending Doppler shift for those approaching us, descending pitch for those departing.
Explain the effects on frequency wavelength and energy as you move across the spectrum?
E=hv where E=energy v=frequency v=Planck's constant as you move further towards the xray side, frequency and energy increase.
What would happen to the redshift light if it moved in the opposite direction?
With the observer stationary, as an object emitting light moves away, each wave is emitted from a point farther away than the preceding wave and thus takes longer to reach the observer. Because of this Doppler effect (Proposed by Austrian Christian Doppler in 1849) the perceived wavelength is lengthened and therefore (in the visible spectrum) it appears at a lower frequency and is called a red shift (the lowest visible frequency being red). If the object moves in the opposite direction (towards the observer), each wave is emitted from a point closer to the observer than the preceding wave so the wavelength seems shorter and the frequency appears higher and moves towards that end of the spectrum. Although the highest visible frequency is violet, someone somewhere decided to call this Doppler effect the blue shift.

Why does the frequency of sound waves change for a listener when the sound source moves towards or away from the listener?
This is an example of the Doppler effect. Sound is composed of waves. A particular vibration produces a sound wave with a particular wavelength. When the sound source moves towards a listener the waves are "bunched up". That results in a shorter observed wavelength and thus a higher frequency. When the sound source moves away the opposite happens. The frequency of the sound waves decreases.

What happens if a sound wave is compressed?
it is unclear what you mean. One form of 'compression' would be the dopplar effect whereby a object producing sound is moving towards the listener. The sound heard by the listener is of a higher frequency than the sound that is produced.
What is an apparent change in frequency of a sound source that moves relative to an observer?
The Doppler Effect. It's a change in frequency cause by the motion of the sound source, the motion of the listener, or both. As a source of sound approaches, observers hear a higher frequency. When the sound source moves away, observers hear a lower frequency. This effect was discovered by an Austrian scientist named Christian Doppler. Example: An ambulance siren. As the ambulance approaches a stationary observer, the frequency seems to increase. As the ambulance moves farther away, the loudness of the siren seems to decrease.
Is it possible to move a source of sound relative to a stationary observer so that there is no shift in the frequency of the sound?
For the sound from a source not to be shift in frequency , the radial velocity of the source to the observer must be zero : that is the source must not be moving towards or away from the observer
Would there be a Doppler effect if the source of a wave is stationary and the observer is the one in motion?
Yes. The observer frequency fo= f( v + vo)/(v -vs) where f is the signal frequency, v is the speed of wave and vo is the speed of the observer towards the signal and vs is the speed of the signal toward the observer.

The Doppler effect is that apparent change of the frequency of a moving object when someone is stationary. A car may seem to get louder as it gets closer to a person and then the sound will drop as the car gets away.
Does time increase in duration when moving away from or towards a stationary object?
Not from your perspective if you are the one moving.
What happens to the frequency of light and its colour when objects travel towards you and away?
It will shift towards red ( becomes lower) as it moves away and towards blue as it approaches.
8 types of listeners?
The passive listener, who listens without actively engaging or responding. The critical listener, who analyzes and questions the message being conveyed. The empathetic listener, who shows understanding and compassion towards the speaker. The selective listener, who focuses only on specific parts of the message. The attentive listener, who gives full focus and concentration to the speaker. The evaluative listener, who judges the validity or credibility of the message. The reflective listener, who thinks deeply about the content and its implications. The defensive listener, who reacts emotionally or negatively to the message.
