1. The Doppler shift — the apparent change in frequency of a wave from a moving source or observer — does NOT depend on?

The frequency of the wave actually produced by the source

The velocity of the source

The velocity of the observer

The straight-line distance between the source and the listener

The Doppler shift depends on the relative velocity between source and observer, and on the wave’s original frequency — but not on the fixed distance separating them.
