Answer: Doppler Effect

Doppler Effect can be described as the change in wavelength of a wave like upward shift in frequency for an object whom is approaching and an apparent downward shift in frequency for observers from whom the source is receding. This effect can be observed when a boat moves through the water then the waves in front bunch up while the waves behind the boat spread out.
