If a sound wave goes from a cold air region to a hot air region, its wavelength will
  • A.
    increase
  • B.
    decrease
  • C.
    decrease then increase
  • D.
    remain constant
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

If a sound wave goes from a cold air region to a hot air region (which will be less dense), the velocity decreases, and since the frequency is always constant, the wave length decreases with the velocity
