A Sound Source of Frequency F Moves with Constant Velocity

Question 97

Multiple Choice

A sound source of frequency f moves with constant velocity (less than the speed of sound) through a medium that is at rest.A stationary observer hears a sound whose frequency is appreciably different from f because


A) the equation that relates velocity of propagation,frequency,and wavelength of a sound traveling through a medium does not apply in this situation.
B) the sound wave travels through the medium with a velocity different from that which it would have if the source were at rest.
C) the frequency of the source is changed because of its motion.
D) the wavelength established in the medium is not the same as it would be if the source were at rest.
E) interference effects set up a standing-wave pattern that alters the frequency.
