Select and record the correct responses to complete the following statements. You have learned that the frequency of sound waves reaching a stationary observer will change depending on whether the source of the sound is approaching or receding. Suppose an ambulance is approaching and then passes you and drives away without changing speed. As an ambulance approaches, the sound waves (expand, compress), resulting in a (higher, lower)-frequency wave. As the ambulance passes, the pitch (increases to a higher frequency, drops to a lower frequency).

1. As an ambulance approaches, the sound waves compress,
2. resulting in a higher-frequency wave.
3. As the ambulance passes, the pitch drops toa lower frequency.
Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. As the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases. The sound as the ambulance is receding seems to be expanded or becoming less concentrated as it moves away.
Result:
Sound waves.
