1. The horn of a moving vehicle produces a sound of constant frequency. Two stationary observers, A and C, hear the horn “B”. Compared to the frequency of the sound of the horn heard by driver B, the frequency heard by observer A is:
Lower and the frequency heard by observer C is lower
Lower and the frequency heard by observer C is higher
Higher and the frequency heard by observer C is lower
Higher and the frequency heard by observer C is higher
