If there is relative motion between source of sound and observer, the apparent frequency of sound heard by the observer is different from the actual frequency of sound emitted by the source. This phenomenon is called Doppler’s effect. When the distance between the source and the observer decreases, then apparent frequency increases and vice versa.
