When sound waves travel from air to water which of the following quantities remains unchanged?
Correct answer: B. Frequency
- A. Speed
- B. Frequency
- C. Intensity
- D. Wavelength
Explanation
The frequency of a wave is fixed by its source and does not change when sound enters another medium. Its speed and wavelength change according to the new medium, and intensity may also change.
Report an error
The more specific you are, the faster it gets fixed. A source beats an opinion.
