The speed of the wave depends on characteristics of the medium. Changing the
frequency results in a change in wavelength, just enough so that the product of
(frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number . . . the speed.
When a light wave enters a medium where the speed of light is slower (from dense to rare medium), the frequency remains the same but the wavelength decreases. This is because the speed of light is inversely proportional to the wavelength.
Yes, the frequency of a wave remains constant as long as the medium temperature and pressure do not change. Temperature and pressure affect the speed of sound in a medium, not the frequency of the wave.
The frequency of electromagnetic energy traveling through a medium can change if the medium's refractive index changes. This can occur when light travels from one medium to another, causing a change in the speed of light, which in turn affects the frequency of the light waves.
In a given medium, as the frequency of a wave increases, the speed of the wave remains constant. The speed of a wave in a medium is determined by the properties of that medium, such as its density and elasticity, and is independent of the frequency of the wave.
When light enters a denser medium, its speed decreases due to interactions with the medium's particles. This change in speed causes the frequency of the light to remain constant but the wavelength to decrease, following the equation v = fλ, where v is the speed of light, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.

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.
The frequency of electromagnetic energy traveling through a medium can change if the medium's refractive index changes. This can occur when light travels from one medium to another, causing a change in the speed of light, which in turn affects the frequency of the light waves.
When light enters another medium it changes speed, but thewavelength changes correspondingly so that the frequency does not change. For example, if light enters a medium where its speed is cut in half, then the wavelength will also be reduced by half.
No, sound velocity does not change based on sound frequency in a uniform medium. In a medium with a constant temperature and pressure, the speed of sound remains constant regardless of the frequency of the sound waves.
In a given medium, as the frequency of a wave increases, the speed of the wave remains constant. The speed of a wave in a medium is determined by the properties of that medium, such as its density and elasticity, and is independent of the frequency of the wave.

There is no way to change the wave speed, propagation speed other than changing the density of the medium. If you increase the frequency the wavelength gets shorter, which is true with both light and sound, so if the wavelength is increased the frequency will be less. Since the speed slows in a denser material we can make lenses and prisms.
When frequency decreases, the wavelength increases. This is because the speed of a wave remains constant in a given medium (like air or water), so as frequency decreases, the wavelength has to increase in order to maintain that constant speed.
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.
The frequency of a wave can be changed by altering the speed of the wave's source or by changing the medium through which the wave is traveling.
