Moving Source vs. Moving Listener. (a) A sound source producing 1.00-kHz waves moves toward a stationary listener

Question:

Moving Source vs. Moving Listener.
(a) A sound source producing 1.00-kHz waves moves toward a stationary listener at one-half the speed of sound. What frequency will the listener hear?
(b) Suppose instead that the source is stationary and the listener moves toward the source at one-half the speed of sound. What frequency does the listener hear? How does your answer compare to that in part (a)? Explain on physical grounds why the two answers differ.
