Question #1
When an ambulance with a blaring siren moves towards an observer, the pitch of the siren appears to be higher. This is due to:
A. Interference of sound waves
B. The Doppler Effect
C. Acoustic resonance
D. Reverberation

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The Doppler Effect is the apparent change in the frequency (and thus pitch) of a wave due to the relative motion between the source and the observer. As the ambulance approaches, sound waves get compressed, increasing the perceived frequency (higher pitch). As it moves away, waves stretch, lowering the frequency.
