    A student hears a police siren.

    The arithmetic of the Doppler Effect shows that if the distance between

    the source and observer is changing, then the observer hears a different

    frequency compared to the frequency actually radiating from the source.

    Thus the first four choices would cause the student to hear a different

    frequency:

    - - if the student walked toward the police car

    - - if the student walked away from the police car

    - - if the police car moved toward the student

    - - if the police car moved away from the student

    The last two choices wouldn't affect the frequency heard by the student,

    since the perceived frequency of a sound doesn't depend on its intensity.

    - - if the intensity of the siren increased

    - - if the intensity of the siren decreased.
