An engine is moving on a circular track with a constant speed. It is blowing a whistle of frequency $500 \ Hz$. The frequency received by an observer standing stationary at the centre of the track is

  • A
    $500 \ Hz$
  • B
    More than $500 \ Hz$
  • C
    Less than $500 \ Hz$
  • D
    More or less than $500 \ Hz$ depending on the actual speed of the engine
