Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the sound is emanating from the south, the sound waves will travel in all directions, including north. However, since the person is facing north, they will perceive the sound as coming from the opposite direction, which in this case is south. Therefore, the sound will be perceived as coming from either the north or the south.
