A speaker emits a sound wave of frequency $f_0$. When it moves towards a stationary observer with speed $u$, the observer measures a frequency $f_1$. If the speaker is stationary and the observer moves towards it with speed $u$, the measured frequency is $f_2$. Then,
  • A$f_1=f_2 < f_0$
  • B$f_1 > f_2$
  • C$f_1 < f_2$
  • D$f_1=f_2 > f_0$
