B. The car horn will sound higher in frequency than it did before.
C. The car horn will sound lower in frequency than it did before.

Respuesta :

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

According to the doppler's effect, the frequency of sound decreases.

If there is a relative motion between the source and the observer, the frequency of sound changes apparently.

the formula of the doppler effect is given by

[tex]f' =\frac{v-v_{o}}{v}}f[/tex]

where, f is the real frequency, v be the speed of sound, vo be the speed of the observer, here, the bus is the observer.

So, the value of f' < f
