When sound waves travel from air to water, which of the following remains constant?

1. Velocity
2. Wavelength
3. Frequency
4. All of the above

Correct answer: Frequency

Solution

When sound waves travel from one medium to another, their frequency remains constant because it is determined by the source of the sound, not the medium. However, velocity and wavelength change depending on the properties of the new medium.
