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?

It is lower due to the Doppler effect.

∙ 14y agobecause you get closer to the sound
As the ambulance gets closer, the sound waves are compressed relative to the person; so the frequency increases.

This is not just apparent. The frequency emitted by the siren is constant, but the frequency arriving at the observer really does change.

How is matter and time related?
Without matter there is nothing to measure the length of time that the matter existed and without time matted cannot exist as if it did it be measured as how long it existed for. No matter, no time.
A subatomic particle known as a pion has a lifespan of 000000026 seconds How long does the particle exist from the perspective of an observer if the particle moves past the observer at 67c?
000000035 seconds
Why is perfume an example of diffusion?
The molecules of the perfume have to diffuse through the air in order to reach and be detected by the nose of an observer.

What does the 3 in 2p3 mean?
The three in that sequence lets an observer know how many electrons are filled for that particular shell. In this case, the 2p shell has 3 out of 6 possible spaces filled.
What is an apparent 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.
What happens to a frequency heard when an observer begins toward the stationary source of a sound?
.The frequency increases
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 apparent change in the frequency of a sound emitted by a moving object as it passes a stationary observer is called the what effect?
Doppler effect.
For a stationary observer when the source of a sound is moving its?
When the source of a sound moves, the frequency noted by the observer will change. This is an example of Doppler's law. answer: its pitch appears to change.
What is the perception in the change of a sound's feequency as the source moves?
when the source moves toward stationary observer the frequency increase because wavelength gets shorter.

The velocity of sound in air is 343 ms An ambulance is traveling east at 64.9 ms Behind it there is a car traveling along the same direction at 29.8 ms The ambulance driver hears his siren at a?
afrequency of the same as siren frequency as ambulance is the source and the observer this is not Doppler effect problem
Does the frequency change if the observer moves?
actually the frequency donot change but apparent change in frequency is observed by the observer...........(may be this help u)
What is the stationary point that used for speed measurement?
There is really no such thing as an absolute stationary point. By convention one can be picked as any point in the observer's frame of reference (i.e. any point stationary relative to the observer).
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.
