In which of the following situations would you hear an average frequency of 760 Hz? Your answer: the car is moving toward you the car is moving away from you you are higher than the car (like on the third floor) you and the car are both stationaryarrow_forwardWhat happens to a sound source that is passing by at constant speed? A The sound and pitch vary depending on the distance of surrounding objects. B The sound keeps a constant, higher pitch as the source approaches and a constant, lower pitch as the source recedes. The sound keeps a constant, lower pitch as the source approaches and a constant, higher pitch as the source recedes. The sound maintains the same pitch except at the moment when it passes an object. ©2021 Illuminate Education TM Inc. hp esc 23 トarrow_forward
