A train sounds a whistle of constant frequency
as it leaves the train station. Compared to the
sound emitted by the whistle, the sound that the
passengers standing on the platform hear has a
frequeney that is
(1) lower, because the sound-wave fronts reach
the platform at a frequency lower than the
frequeney at which they are produced
(2) lower, because the sound-wave travels more
slowly in the still air above the platform than
in the rushing air near the train
(3) higher, because the sound-wave fronts reach
the platform at a frequency higher than the
frequeney at which they are produced
