Answer:

Redshift, or lower power

Step-by-step explanation:

doppler effect

waves get stretched when you are moving away from something, and squished when you are moving towards it. Imagine you have a long, bent wire. if you stretch out the wire, the wavelength becomes longer. This also applies to sound.
