A source of sound moves towards an observer. What happens to the speed of sound in the medium? Correct Answer Remains the same

Speed of sound in the medium depends on the properties of the medium like bulk modulus and density, not on the speed of source creating the sound.

In the following question, sentences of a paragraph have been jumbled and labelled as A, B, C and D. You are required to rearrange the jumbled sentences of the paragraph and mark your response accordingly by selecting the correct option. A: As the source continues to vibrate the medium, the vibrations propagate away from the source at the speed of sound, thus forming the sound wave. B: The sound source creates vibrations in the surrounding medium.  C: The sound waves are generated by a sound source, such as the vibrating diaphragm of a stereo speaker. D: Sound can propagate through a medium such as air, water, and solids as longitudinal waves and also as a transverse wave in solids.
A source moves towards a stationary observer with a speed of 10m/s. If the frequency of the source is 10Hz what will be the wavelength of sound heard by the observer? Speed of sound = 330m/s.
