Answer:

Increase in frequency constantly

Step-by-step explanation:

This concept can be explained by Doppler shift as per which any form of disturbance spreads out spherically from its point of origin. If the source of sound wave is stationary and the receiver is also stationary, then the frequency remains the same but if the source is moving, then the disturbance caused is closer on one side and distant on the other side thereby producing shorter wavelength in direction the source is moving and longer wavelength in the opposite direction.
