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.
As the wavelength increases, frequency decreases. A wavelength is the distance from, say, a crest to a crest, or perhaps a trough to a trough. Frequency is essentially how many waves or how many cycles of a wave there are per unit of time, and we usually apply the term cycles per second or Hertz (which means cycles per second) to it.Wavelength is the physical distance the wave will travel as a single cycle of that wave occurs. And wavelength is a function of both frequency and of the speed of propagation of that wave. In any case, a longer wavelength is associated with a lower frequency. Increasing (lengthening) the wavelength decreases the frequency.
Speed = distance / time [m /s]likewise:Speed of wave = wavelength x frequency [m /s]Since sound waves travel at a fixed speed through a medium* a drop in frequency must cause a corresponding increase in wavelength*Not always true. In water of example, lower frequency waves travel faster than higher frequency waves. When this happens the waves are said to be travelling through a dispersive medium.
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.
Waves are characterized by wavelength, frequency, and speed. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave. The frequency is defined as the number of waves (cycles) per second that pass a given space. Since all types of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light, short-wavelength radiation must have a high frequency and long-wavelength radiation must have a low frequency.
The speed of light is fixed and so the wavelength and the frequency of light are related like this:wavelength * frequency = speed of lightYou just have to be careful your units match up. Often wavelengths of light are listed in nanometers, or nm, while the speed of light is often given in meters per second, or m/s. Make sure everything is in terms of meters or your answer will be way off. Frequency is almost always given in terms of 1/seconds, which is also called a Hertz. See the Web Links for more information about the electromagnetic spectrum.
The wavelength of waves travelling with the same speed would decrease if the frequency of the waves increases. This is because, speed of a wave is the product of the distance of the wavelength times the frequency of the wave. The velocity of a wave is usually constant in a given medium.

Yes. Blue light has a shorter wavelength, and therefore a higher frequency, than red light.

The speed of a wave is the product of its frequency and its wavelength.
Wavelength = speed divided by frequency. Speed = distance divided by time. Therefore: Wavelength = distance divided by (frequency x time). You therefore need to know the frequency of the wave and the time it takes to travel in unit time.
Energy(E) = hn n=c\l where h is planck's constant n is frequency c is velocity and is wavelength the frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. Now, according to this equation as frequency increases the wavelength decreases. Hence, high frequency has short wavelength.
The distance light takes to travel in a second (just less than 30000000metres).
Frequency never changes since it depends only on source. Speed can either increase or decrease, depending on the direction of travel of light. This would cause an increase or decrease in wavelength respectively. Speed increases when light travels from an optically denser medium to an optically less dense one. (For example, when light travels from water to air) Speed decreases when light travels from an optically less dense medium to an optically denser medium.

The speed of propagation of an electromagnetic wave (like light, which is an electromagnetic wave) is nearly the speed of light. It will actually be the speed of light in a vacuum. But it does travel a little more slowly depending on the medium through which it is traveling. (Like air.) The frequency of the electromagnetic wave is not a determining factor in finding its speed, but will certainly be a factor in determining its absorption by the medium. A radio wave of 9.5109 Hz is a really low frequency wave, and generating and transmitting it would be a pretty piece of engineering.
