Why does the sound of a racing car engine change as it drives past us?
|
As the racing car approaches, the sound waves in front of it get squashed together. These short sound waves make the engine's noise sound high-pitched. As the car moves past, the sound waves become stretched out behind it. The longer waves make the engine's note sound lower.
