A person moves away from a stationary sound source. Which phrase describes the sound perceived by the person?(1 point)

Responses

higher pitch and shorter wavelength
higher pitch and shorter wavelength

lower pitch and longer wavelength
lower pitch and longer wavelength

higher pitch and longer wavelength
higher pitch and longer wavelength

lower pitch and shorter wavelength

1 answer

The correct response is:

lower pitch and longer wavelength

This is due to the Doppler effect, where a person moving away from a stationary sound source perceives a decrease in frequency (lower pitch) and an increase in wavelength.
