Responses

higher pitch and shorter wavelength
higher pitch and shorter wavelength

higher pitch and longer wavelength
higher pitch and longer wavelength

lower pitch and shorter wavelength
lower pitch and shorter wavelength

1 answer

The correct response is:

lower pitch and longer wavelength

As the person moves away from a stationary sound source, the sound waves are stretched, resulting in a lower pitch and longer wavelength due to the Doppler effect.
