A student hears a police siren.

The arithmetic of the Doppler Effect shows that if the distance between
the source and observer is changing, then the observer hears a different
frequency compared to the frequency actually radiating from the source. 

Thus the first four choices would cause the student to hear a different
frequency:

-- if the student walked toward the police car
-- if the student walked away from the police car
-- if the police car moved toward the student
-- if the police car moved away from the student

The last two choices wouldn't affect the frequency heard by the student,
since the perceived frequency of a sound doesn't depend on its intensity.

-- if the intensity of the siren increased
-- if the intensity of the siren decreased.

There is always a change in the frequency of sound as the source of the sound moves towards or away from the observer.

What is the Doppler effect?

The Doppler effects lets us know that there is always a change in the frequency of sound as the source of the sound moves towards or away from the observer.

Hence, the frequency that the student hears will change;

  • if the student walked toward the police car
  • if the student walked away from the police car
  • if the police car moved toward the student
  • if the police car moved away from the student
