what scientific term explains why sirens of an ambulance have different pitch sounds if they are coming toward you verses if they are moving away from you?

• electromagnetic spectrum

• different amplitudes

• Doppler effect

sound waves are what type of wave?

• transverse

• longitudinal

• refraction

• defraction

• reflection

• interference
