Problem

A sound wave of frequency 512 Hz512\,\text{Hz} moves from air into water, causing its speed to rise from 340 m s−1340\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} to 1490 m s−11490\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}. Explain what happens to the following during this transition and give a reason in each case: a. (i) the wavelength b. (ii) the frequency
