Is it true or false that the greater the frequency of the wave in a particular medium the greater the speed of the medium.?
False. The medium is assumed to be resting in any case. If you refer to the speed of the wave, in the case of most wave that is more or less independent of the wave's frequency.
The speed at which a wave travels through a medium is called what?
Frequency
Which wave characteristics remain unchanged when a wave crosses a boundary into a different medium?
The frequency of the light remains unchanged as it depends on the source of the light rather than the medium its traveling in.
Does the frequency of a wave remain constant if the medium temperature and pressure do not change?
no
Does varying the either the wavelength or frequency affect the speed of the wave in that medium?
No.
What is the relationship between the frequency and wave medium?
There's no relationship between the frequency and the medium. The frequency of a wave is determined by the source. Once the wave leaves the source and sets out on its journey, the frequency doesn't change, regardless of what kind of stuff the wave encounters and has to travel through.

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 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 ?

How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.
Does the frequency of a wave remain constant if the medium temperature and pressure do not change?
no
Does varying the either the wavelength or frequency affect the speed of the wave in that medium?
No.
Does the frequency or wavelength of the wave affect its speed?
The speed of a wave depends only on the mechanical or electrical characteristics of the medium or environment through which the wave propagates. It doesn't depend on the wave's frequency or wavelength.
What are the definitions of amplitude frequency and wavelenght?
Speed c of the wave in the medium = frequency ftimes wavelength lambda.
