1A source of sound approaches a stationary listener. Which ONE of the following will occur?
- AThe amplitude of the observed sound wave will be more than the amplitude of the sound wave emitted by the source.
- BThe wavelength of the observed sound wave will be greater than the wavelength of the sound wave emitted by the source.
- CThe frequency of the observed sound wave will be more than the frequency of the sound wave emitted by the source.
- DThe speed of the observed sound wave will be greater than the speed of the sound wave emitted by the source.
