1. Alexandra and Rachel are on a train that sounds a whistle at a constant frequency as

it leaves the train station. Compared to the sound emitted by the whistle, the sound that
the passengers standing on the platform hear has a frequency that is
a. lower, because the sound-wave fronts reach the platform at a frequency
lower than the frequency at which they are produced
b. lower, because the sound waves travel more slowly in the still air above the
platform than in the rushing air near the train
c. higher, because the sound-wave fronts reach the platform at a frequency
higher than the frequency at which they are produced
d. higher, because the sound waves travel faster in the still air above the
platform than in the rushing air near the train

answer:

a) lower because the sound-wave fronts reach the platform at a frequency lower than the frequency at which they are produced

explanation :3

If the train is leaving the train station, then the people who are standing on the platform would hear a sound with a lower frequency since the train is moving further away. ^^
