Sound waves whose frequency is 300 Hz have a speed relative to sound waves in the same medium whose frequency is 600 Hz that is?

Since velocity of wave = frequency x wavelength (or v=fλ), and velocity is assumed to be the same for both since they're in the same medium,
f1λ1 = f2λ2
300λ1 = 9000λ2
λ1/λ2 = 9000/300 = 30
Thus, the wavelength of the 300Hz frequency sound wave is 30 times greater than the 9000Hz frequency sound wave.

How does sound affect frequency?
The definition of sound is : "Vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear." Sound can be measured by amplitude (loudness) and pitch (The frequency of the vibrations). Therefore sound does not affect frequency but frequency affects the pitch of the sound.
What is the relative frequency of a sound as perceived by a listener?
I think you mean pitch.
What increases when sound wave travel in solid from gas medium frequency or wavelength?
Velocity increases when sound waves travel from gas medium to solid medium. As velocity = frequency * wave length and the frequency does not change, v is directly proportional to the wave length... Hence the wavelength increases.
What are the two elements of sounds?
Sounds, which are mechanical energy, vary in both frequency and amplitude. The pitch of a sound, the "highness" or "lowness" of that sound is a function of its frequency. Higher frequency equal higher pitch. The amplitude of a sound is the sound energy or "loudness" of the sound. The higher the amplitude of the sound wave, the more energy in the wave and the louder it is. source, medium and sender
Which two factors sound intensity?
Reverberation time, loudness, Focusing, interference, echo, echelon effect, resonance, noise
What factors determines the loudness of sound?
Frequency of the sound wave ?Amplitude of the sound wave ?The temperature of the medium ?The density of the medium ?
What factor determines the loudness of a sound?
Frequency of the sound wave ?Amplitude of the sound wave ?The temperature of the medium ?The density of the medium ?
How are sound waves are affected by their frequency and the medium through which the sound wave passes?
The wavelength is equal to the local velocity of sound divided by the frequency, As with light, there can be refraction when sound passes from one medium to another with a different sound velocity.
When sound enters another medium such as a wall what remains constant?
When sound enters another medium such as a wall, the frequency or pitch of the sound remains constant. The velocity or speed of sound may change depending on the properties of the medium, but the frequency remains the same.

The speed of a sound wave in air depends on?
Temperature and the medium in which it is travelling

I think you mean pitch.
Does the frequency of a whales sound made underwater changes after being heard in air?
When a sound passes from one medium to another of different [non-zero] density, its speed and wavelength change, but its frequency doesn't. It doesn't matter what either medium is, or what source produced the sound.
What increases when sound wave travel in solid from gas medium frequency or wavelength?
Velocity increases when sound waves travel from gas medium to solid medium. As velocity = frequency * wave length and the frequency does not change, v is directly proportional to the wave length... Hence the wavelength increases.

What do you call the change in sound frequency due to a relative motion?
The Doppler Effect.
