A source of sound emits sound waves at frequency f0 . It is moving towards an observer with fixed speed vs (vs<v) , where v is the speed of sound in air). If the observer were to move towards the source with speed v0 , one of the following two graphs (A and B) will give the correct variation of the frequency f heard by the observer as v0 is changed.
