To be more specific, a sound source moving toward you will appear to emit a sound of higher frequency than actual. Conversely, a sound source moving away from you will appear to emit a sound of lower frequency than actual. See "the Doppler effect."

What happens to a frequency heard when an observer begins toward the stationary source of a sound?
.The frequency increases
Frequency increases as the source approaches an observer and decreases as it recedes?
Doppler effect is a change in frequency and wavelength of a wave. It is caused by the change in distance between the thing creating the wave (causer) and whatever is measuring (watcher), seeing or hearing the wave.Another word for "causer" is "sender". Another word for "change in distance" is "speed".(taken from simple wikipedia).
What is the effect in the change in wave frequency caused by the motion of the source of the wave?
Austrian physicist Christian Johann Doppler (1803-1853)discovered that a wave's frequency changes when the source and observer are in motion relative to one another. This is known as the Doppler effect.
The change in frequency of sound waves in the Doppler effect is heard as a change in?
Whenever the frequency of a sound wave changes, regardless of what caused it to change, the change is perceived as a change in the pitch of the sound.
If you are moving toward the source of a sound wave and then pass the source and continue moving away the will change.?
The pitch becomes lower because the sound waves are no longer compressed once the source passes you.
What happens to a frequency heard when an observer begins toward the stationary source of a sound?
.The frequency increases
How does the relative motion of a motorcycle affect the frequency of the sound heard by an observer on the sidewak?
as the motorcycle approaches the observer, the frequency increases.
What is the definition of Doppler?
An Austrian physicist, Christian Doppler, is best known for the effect named after him, the Doppler effect, which he proposed in 1842. It is the change in frequency of a wave as measured by an observer in motion relative to the source of the wave.The Doppler effect (or Doppler shift) is the change in frequency and wavelength of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the waves. It is commonly heard when a vehicle sounding a siren approaches, passes and recedes from an observer. The received frequency is increased (compared to the emitted frequency) during the approach, it is identical at the instant of passing by, and it is decreased during the receding motion. The higher or lower frequency alters the pitch of the sound as heard by a stationary listener, making it sound higher-pitched or lower-pitched.
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.
After an approaching ambulance passes a stationary observer what does the frequency of the sound of the siren heard by the observer appear to do?
Soften... It is lower due to the Doppler effect. Decrease =]

What increases as loudness of a sound increases?
A) wavelength B) frequency C) velocity D) amplitude
If a source of sound waves is rapidly approaching a person the sound heard by the person appears to have?
a frequency higher then the original frequency...
What is the effect in the change in wave frequency caused by the motion of the source of the wave?
Austrian physicist Christian Johann Doppler (1803-1853)discovered that a wave's frequency changes when the source and observer are in motion relative to one another. This is known as the Doppler effect.
Will the frequency of a stationary source as heard by two listeners standing in different places be the same?
Yes.
The change in frequency of sound waves in the Doppler effect is heard as a change in?
Whenever the frequency of a sound wave changes, regardless of what caused it to change, the change is perceived as a change in the pitch of the sound.
If you are moving toward the source of a sound wave and then pass the source and continue moving away the will change.?
