This is due to the Doppler Effect. The Doppler Effect explains how a source of sound, in this case the siren, is catching up with the sound waves it emits. The space between waves is consequently shorter. This produces a higher frequency sound. As the source passes you, it is speeding away from the sound waves. The waves are spread further apart, thus producing a lower frequency.

What gets farther away from sea level as it rises?
Flooding
Is it true that if you get closer to the equator it gets warmer?
as you get closer it gets warmer and as you go farther away it gets colder
What happens to the force of gravity on a person as he gets farther away from Earth?
As a person moves farther away from Earth, the force of gravity acting on them decreases. This is because gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the Earth. Therefore, as the distance increases, the gravitational pull weakens, resulting in a lower weight for the person the farther they are from the planet.
What happens to sound as it gets farther away from the object making the sound?
It popes
When an ambulance passes by the sirens pitch changes. The sounds becomes higher-pitched as it approaches and then the pitch lowers as it gets further away. This change in pitch is known as the Dopp?
The change in pitch of a siren as it approaches and moves away is known as the Doppler effect. This effect occurs because the sound waves emitted by the siren are compressed as the ambulance approaches, leading to a higher pitch, and stretched as it moves away, resulting in a lower pitch.
What is the dopplereffect?
When a car or sumthing that makes noise comes close to you it gets louder. when it goes away farther the sound gets weaker
What happens to the sound as it gets farther away from the object making the sound?
the sod makes a higher pitch
Why is the weather in Canada colder that central America?
Beacause the the farther away the location is from the equator the colder it gets'
How does the revolution of the earth around the sun cause the seasons?
The farther the sun gets away from the earth, the colder it is, that is WInter and Fall. The closer it gets the warmer it gets. That is Spring and Summer.
What temperature is the water in the neritic zone?
The temperature of the neritic zone is warm but gets colder the farther you move away from the shore.
What happens to the energy of a sound wave as the source gets farther away?
As a sound wave travels away from the source, its energy spreads out over a larger area, leading to a decrease in the intensity of the sound. This reduction in energy leads to a decrease in the loudness of the sound as it travels farther away.
Why a siren changes pitch as it approaches and passes us?
This is called the Doppler Effect, a physics phenomenon that makes the sound of an approaching siren in an ambulance appear to be higher pitched as well as louder, but starts to immediately drop in intensity and pitch as it moves away from you. This is due to the apparent "compression" of the waves as they approach the observer (increases frequency), followed by "stretching" of the waves (decreases frequency) as they move away.
