You're driving behind an ambulance on the highway at a speed of 65 mph. If the speed of the ambulance is 60 mph, will the siren sound to you as if its pitch is higher, lower, or the same as it would if both you and the ambulance were stationary This is what I have so far: The pitch would be higher because you have the faster velocity so the sound waves take less time to travel over the period.
