    For a wave propagating in a medium identify the property that is independent of the others?

    A) Velocity

    B) Wavelength

    C) Frequency

    D) All these depend on each other

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Any medium has its characteristic such as refractive   index   which   affects   the characteristics of a wave such as wavelength, velocity etc. Frequency is also a characteristic of a wave. The velocity and wavelength of a wave decrease by a factor p, (refractive index) on passing through a medium but frequency remains unchanged. Hence, it is independent of medium.
