Question

As you move farther away from a source emitting a pure tone, the ___________ of the sound you hear decreases.

Answer 1

frequency

Step-by-step explanation:

The phenomenon of apparent change in frequency due to the relation motion between the source and the observer is called Doppler's effect.

So, when we move farther, the frequency of sound decreases. The formula of the Doppler's effect is

`f' = (v + v_o)/(v+ v_s) f`

where, v is the velocity of sound, vs is the velocity of source and vo is the velocity of observer, f is the true frequency. f' is the apparent frequency.
