Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.

Does the speed of sound independent of frequency?
It is independent of frequency.
Does sound velocity change based upon sound frequency?
Speed of sound is not frequency dependent. Speed of sound is dependent only on the temperature. At 20°C the speed of sound is 343 m/s.
Why does the water pressure of the water vapor in the atmosphere affects the speed of sound waves?
because there is water also moving in it and sound also moves in it so thats why water vapours affect our sound speed
What are the characteristic of sounds?
frequency,wavelength,amplitude,sound pressure,sound intensity,speed of sound,and direction
How does the temperature affect the frequency of an organ pipe?
A change in temperature will result in a change in the speed of sound. The frequency of a flute organ pipe is proportional to the speed of sound. For example, an increase in temperature will cause an increase in the speed of sound, and hence the pitch of the pipe will go up. A change of about 4oC will cause a change in the pipe's sound frequency of about 1%. That compares with a change of 6% between adjacent notes on the keyboard. Hence such a change would be significant.The same effect occurs for the woodwind and brass instruments.
What are two factors that affect sound quality?
Speed of Sound and frequency
How does frequency affect light?
Frequency is the characteristic of light that gives rise to our experience of color. It is analogous to the relationship of frequency and pitch for sound.
Does the speed of sound independent of frequency?
It is independent of frequency.
Does sound velocity change based upon sound frequency?
Speed of sound is not frequency dependent. Speed of sound is dependent only on the temperature. At 20°C the speed of sound is 343 m/s.
What is the difference between the frequency and the speed of a sound?
Frequency is the number of cycles per second. Sound has frequency. The speed of sound is the distance traveled during a unit of time. 768 mph.
Why does the water pressure of the water vapor in the atmosphere affects the speed of sound waves?
because there is water also moving in it and sound also moves in it so thats why water vapours affect our sound speed
What is the speed of sound vibrations?
Frequency
How does changing the frequency affect the wave speed?
The speed of a wave doesn't depend on its frequency.
How does the speed of a wave affect its wavelength?
This can be answered using light or sound. Light will remain at a constant speed regardless of frequency or amplitude. Its shift in frequency (Doppler shift) is caused by the extreme distances the light had to travel to get here. Still it remains at the same speed. Sounds speed will change with local conditions. Also subject to an audible Doppler shift when a constant note is moved past you you can hear the pitch shift. The motion compresses the sound as it approaches and spreads it out as it moves away from you.
Do all frequencies of sound travel with the same velocity?
Yes, they do. The frequency of a sound doesn't effect the speed at which it moves; i.e. approx 330meters per second (through air). For example; a sound with a frequency of 600Hz has the same velocity as a sound with frequency 300Hz, the difference being that the sound at 300Hz would have half as many wavelengths in the same distance from source as the sound at 600Hz.
When a listener moves toward or away from a source of sound does the wave speed or wave frequency change?
When a source moves toward the Earth its wavelength is shortened, a phenomenon known as blueshift. When a source moves away from the Earth its wavelength is increased, a phenomenon known as redshift.
How are wavlength and frequency of sound related?
Their product is always the speed of the sound.
