In the Doppler effect, what happens to the apparent frequency (f') when the relative speed (u) between the source and the observer is moving towards each other increases?

It increases

How does the sound intensity (I) vary with the distance (r) from a point source of sound in free space?

I is inversely proportional to the square of r

Test your knowledge on wave velocity, the Doppler effect, and the relationship between stationary and travelling waves. Topics include calculating wave velocity, determining apparent frequency with the Doppler effect equation, and understanding the fundamental frequency of a stretched string.
