An observer is approaching with a speed $v$ towards a stationary source emitting sound waves of wavelength $\lambda_0$. The wavelength shift detected by the observer is (Take $c$ as the speed of sound).

  • A
    $\frac{\lambda_0 v}{c}$
  • B
    $\frac{\lambda_0 c}{v}$
  • C
    $\frac{\lambda_0 v^2}{c^2}$
  • D
