A railway engine whistling at a constant frequency moves with a constant speed. It goes past a stationary observer standing beside the  railway track. The frequency $(n)$ of the sound heard by the observer is plotted against time $(t).$ Which of the following best represents the resulting curve?

  • A
    822-a1540
  • B
    822-b1540
  • C
    822-c1540
  • D
