A sound wave enters a new medium where sound travels faster. How does this affect the frequency and wavelength of the sound?
А. The frequency increases and the wavelength decreases.
B. The frequency decreases and the wavelength increases.
C. The frequency stays the same and the wavelength increases.
D.The frequency stays the same and the wavelength decreases.
E. Neither the frequency nor the wavelength is affected.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The frequency stays the same and the wavelength decreases.

Explanation:

When sound wave enters a new medium where sound travels faster, its frequency will remain same because it depends only on the source.

The relation between wavelength and speed is inverse, it means when the speed of sound increases, its wavelength will decrease.

So, the frequency stays the same and the wavelength decreases. Hence, the correct option is (d).
