A sound source $S$ is moving along a straight track with speed $v,$ and is emitting sound of frequency $v_{o}$ (see figure). An observer is standing at a finite clistance, at the point $O$, from the track. The time variation of frequency heard by the observer is best represented by

$\left(t_{0}\right.$ represents the instant when the distance between the source and observer is minimum)

$f_{\text {observed }} \Rightarrow\left(\frac{v_{\text {sound }}}{v_{\text {sound }}-v \cos \theta}\right) f_{0}$

initially $\theta$ will be less $\Rightarrow \cos \theta$ more

$\therefore f _{\text {observed }}$ more, then it will decrease.
