When sound waves travel from air to water, what happens to its frequency?..

Answer / Barkha Saxena

When a sound wave travels from air to water, its wavelength increases (λ2 > λ1) because the speed of sound in water is less than that in air. However, due to the property of conservation of energy (E = f * h), the frequency (f) remains constant.
