Question 18

An underwater vehicle carries a sound transmitter that emits a constant frequency. A fixed receiver monitors the transmitter during several stages of the journey. The vehicle moves directly towards or directly away from the receiver during each stage.

During stage X, the observed frequency is lower than the emitted frequency. The difference between the emitted and observed frequencies is greater during stage X than during any other stage.

Which identifies how the vehicle is moving during stage X?

[1]
A

Away from the receiver at the lowest speed

B

Towards the receiver at the lowest speed

C
