An observer is moving towards a stationary source of sound. In this case:

  • A
    Apparent frequency will be less than the real frequency
  • B
    Apparent frequency will be greater than the real frequency
  • C
    Apparent frequency will be equal to the real frequency
  • D
    Only the quality of sound will change
