You are standing to the right of S, meaning that the source of sound is approaching you. How do you perceive the sound in comparison to a person traveling with the source?

You hear the same pitch at the same volume.
You hear a higher pitch.
You hear the same pitch at louder volume.
You hear a lower pitch.

7. A train is approaching a signal tower at a speed of 40 m/s. The train engineer sounds the 1000-Hz whistle, while a switchman in the tower responds by sounding the 1200-Hz siren. The air is still and the speed of sound is 340m/s

What is the frequency of the train whistle tone that is heard by the switchman?

1000 Hz
