Physics Wave and Sound Equation of Sound Wave, Wavelength, Frequency, Pressure and Displacement Amplitude MCQ (Single Correct)

A wave enters to water from air. In air frequency, wavelength, intensity and velocity are n 1 , λ λ 1 , I 1 and v 1 respectively. In water the corresponding quantities are n 2 , λ λ 2 , I 2 and v 2 respectively; then:

A
I 1 = I 2
B
n 1 = n 2
C
v 1 = v 2
D
λ λ 1 = λ λ 2

The correct answer is:
B

When a wave enters from one medium to another, its frequency remains unchanged, i.e. n 1 = n 2 but wavelength, intensity and velocity get changed.
