When an observer starts moving towards the wave source, it is the
speed of the wave relative to him that changes (increases) whereas THE
WAVELENGTH REMAINS CONSTANT:

"2. The motion of the source brings about a change in the wavelength
of the sound waves and hence there is a change in the observed
frequency.
3. The motion of the observer merely changes the rate at which the
sound waves are recieved by him. The observer intercepts more waves
( when he approaches) or fewer waves ( when he recedes) each second.
The wavelength of the sound waves remains unaffected."

It was extremely difficult to find the above EXPLICIT confession in
Internet, although the constancy of the wavelength for a moving
observer is implicit in any interpretation of the Doppler effect for
sound waves. The reason is a severe selfcensorship imposed by
Einsteiniana: believers may stop singing "Divine Einstein" and "Yes we
all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity", then draw an
analogy between sound waves and light waves and finally (shock,
horror) start questioning Einstein's 1905 false light postulate! The
danger is so great that otherwise clever Einsteinians are forced to
teach blatant lies:

"Moving observer: A man is standing on the beach, watching the tide.
The waves are washing into the shore and over his feet with a constant
frequency and wavelength. However, if he begins walking out into the
ocean, the waves will begin hitting him more frequently, leading him
to perceive that the wavelength of the waves has decreased."

John Norton: "Here's a light wave and an observer. If the observer
were to hurry towards the source of the light, the observer would now
pass wavecrests more frequently than the resting observer. That would
mean that moving observer would find the frequency of the light to
have increased (AND CORRESPONDINGLY FOR THE WAVELENGTH - THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN CRESTS - TO HAVE DECREASED)."

No-one's as dee-vine as Albert Einstein
Not Maxwell, Curie, or Bohr!
He explained the photo-electric effect,
And launched quantum physics with his intellect!
His fame went glo-bell, he won the Nobel --
He should have been given four!
No-one's as dee-vine as Albert Einstein,
Professor with brains galore!
No-one could outshine Professor Einstein --
Egad, could that guy derive!
He gave us special relativity,
That's always made him a hero to me!
Brownian motion, my true devotion,
He mastered back in aught-five!
No-one's as dee-vine as Albert Einstein,
Professor in overdrive!

We all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity.
Yes we all believe in relativity, 8.033, relativity.
Einstein's postulates imply
That planes are shorter when they fly.
Their clocks are slowed by time dilation
And look warped from aberration.
We all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity.
Yes we all believe in relativity, 8.033, relativity.
