Final answer:

The Doppler effect explains frequency changes as a sound source approaches or moves away.


Explanation:

The Doppler effect is observed when a sound source is in motion relative to an observer, causing a shift in frequency perceived by the observer. When an ambulance is rapidly approaching, the frequency of the sound increases, leading to a higher pitch. Conversely, as the ambulance moves away, the frequency decreases, resulting in a lower pitch.
