Frequency doesn't change in the transition between media. Speed changes, with a consequent change
in wavelength. In passing to a less-dense medium, speed and wavelength both increase.
No. It's speed and wavelength may change, but not its frequency.
Frequency is the parameter of light which doesnt change on reflection because it is the ratio of velocity of light in medium and wavelength of the particle.Hence,when velocity increases wavelength also increases and when velocity decreases wavelength also decreases but its ratio always remains constant.
Sound . . .direct the sound into a less-dense medium. Its frequency remains constant butits speed decreases, so its wavelength increases.Light . . .direct the light into a medium with a higher refractive index. Its frequency remainsconstant but its speed decreases, so its wavelength increases.
If the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases. Wavelength lambda and frequency f are connected by the speed cof the medium. c can be air = 343 m/s at 20 degrees celsius or water at 0 dgrees = 1450 m/s. c can be light waves or electromagnetic waves = 299 792 458 m/s. The formulas are: c = lambda x f f = c / lambda lambda = c / f
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.
That is because the light's SPEED decreases. Also, because the frequency doesn't change. As a reminder, the wavelength is equal to the speed of the wave, divided by the frequency.

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.

No it is not true. When the temperature of the medium increases the speed of sound in that medium increases.

The speed of light is not affected by the density of the medium. Its the path of the light that is affected . Phenomenon like reflection or refraction take place when the light goes to different medium

Frequency is a function of the energy level of the photon. Changing the medium does not change that energy level.
Nothing. The speed changes. We live in a universe where electromagnetic waves change frequency if they can't change speed (and in a vacuum they can't), and only change speed if they enter another medium like glass.
