shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies.
When the source of a sound is moving toward you, the sound waves emitted by the source are compressed, resulting in a higher frequency of the sound you hear. This phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect and is commonly experienced with sirens from emergency vehicles approaching you.
The Doppler effect is a phenomenon observed whenever the source of waves is moving with respect to an observer. The Doppler effect can be described as the effect produced by a moving source of waves in which there is an apparent upward shift in frequency for the observer and the source are approaching and an apparent downward shift in frequency when the observer and the source is receding. The Doppler effect can be observed to occur with all types of waves - most notably water waves, sound waves, and light waves.
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.
The apparent change in pitch of a moving sound source is called the Doppler effect. It describes how the frequency of the sound waves perceived by an observer changes as the source of the waves moves relative to the observer.
If the source is moving towards you, the pitch of the sound will increase. This is due to the Doppler effect, where the frequency of the sound waves increases as the source moves closer, causing a higher pitch to be perceived.

When the source of a sound is moving, the speed of sound waves emitted from the source is not affected by the motion of the source itself. However, the perceived frequency of the sound may change due to the Doppler effect, if the source is moving towards or away from the listener.

The Doppler effect causes this phenomenon. As the sound source moves towards the observer, the sound waves are compressed, resulting in a higher perceived pitch and frequency.

When a sound source is moving, it causes a shift in the frequency of the sound waves perceived by an observer. This shift is known as the Doppler effect. If the source is moving towards the observer, the frequency increases and the pitch sounds higher. If the source is moving away, the frequency decreases and the pitch sounds lower.
a lower-pitched sound
The Doppler effect causes a change in sound because of the relative motion between the source of the sound and the observer. When the source is moving towards the observer, the sound waves are compressed, leading to a higher frequency (higher pitch). When the source is moving away, the sound waves are stretched, resulting in a lower frequency (lower pitch).
Yes. This is called a blue shift, and is caused by shortening of the period of waves. It's inverse is a red shift, which occurs when the observer is moving further away from the source of sound. These are both examples of Doppler Shifts.
Yes, that's correct. When a sound source is moving toward an observer, the pitch appears higher (frequency increases) due to compression of sound waves, and when moving away, the pitch appears lower (frequency decreases) due to stretching of sound waves. This effect is known as the Doppler effect.
