A train traveling at a constant speed sounds the whistle

Reference no: EM13656315

A train traveling at a constant speed sounds the whistle as it approaches a crossing and continues to sound the whistle for 100 meters past the crossing. Name the principle that accounts for the change in pitch as the train approaches and departs the crossing and explain how the principle works.
