The frequency of a wave is detemined by the source, and it stays constant, so if the wave enters a medium where the speed is slower, the wavelength becomes shorter.

What happens when a moving object speeds up slows down or changes directions is it acelleration?
what happens when a moving object speeds up,slows down,or changes direction?
What happens to the speed of sound as a medium cools?
it slows down
What happens to the speed of a moving object when it decelerates?
It slows down.
What happens to the speed of light when it is refracted?
The speed of light slows down.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave that slows down while retaining its original frequency?
As the basic formula of all types of waves is (Velocity of a wave=the product of the wavelength of it and its frequency). In this case, frequency of a certain wave is constant and the velocity is decreasing. And as the velocity is directly proportional to the wavelength, the wavelength of the wave shortens as a result.

Suppose a bug is jiggling up and down and swimming towards you at the same time compared to the frequency at which the bug is emitting waves the frequency of the wave reaching you is?
The frequency of the waves reaching you is higher then.
