The waves compress which causes a lower tonal quality.
When a sound-source moves toward you, its pitch gets higher and the sound gets louder. When it moves away, the pitch lowers and it gets quieter. The frequency change is called the Doppler shift.
The doppler effect happens when the source of a sound is moving. When it is moving towards you, it sounds louder and can have a different pitch and when the source is moving away, its a quieter more "far-off" sound. This is because when the source is moving, the sound waves are getting compressed in front of it due to relative velocity. Once the sound wave is made, it's speed is independent of its source. This is also how a sonic boom happens. At super sonic speeds, the sound barrier is broken which is the build up of all the sound waves created.
It slows down.
Scientist measure when light rays are emitted by a moving source the speed of light. Depending on the moving force they can also measure bending light.
If the source of a sound is moving towards you, then the pitch of the soundyou hear is higher than the pitch of sound that the source is actually emitting.The rate of speed doesn't matter.BTW ... this also happens if you are moving toward the source.

False
its speed increases
B. False
All of the frequencies emitted by the source would appear higher to me, all of the wavelengths would appear shorter, and anything that was visible to me would appear shifted toward the blue end of the spectrum, compared to what it was when it left the source. If, as you say, the source is approaching me at nearly the speed of light, then the 'shift' will be extreme. What left the source as radio waves might be visible to me, and what left the source as visible light might appear to me as hard X-rays or even gamma rays. By the way ... one thing that must be mentioned and appreciated is the fact that even if the source is approaching me at nearly the speed of light, if I measure the speed of the radiation from it as it sails past me, I'll see the radio, visible, X-ray, whatever ... moving past me at the speed of light ... 300,000 kilometers per second. Doesn't matter if the source is moving toward me, away from me, slow, fast, or sideways.

Assuming the source is moving in a straight line, there will always be a line between you and the source's path that meets the path at 90 degrees, unless you are directly in the path of the source or directly behind it. The important factor is the speed of the approach toward you, and then away from you.

The velocity changes. called acceleration.
