When a sound wave travels from air into water, its frequency remains unchanged, but its wavelength increases. 2. The speed of sound in a gas is independent of the frequency and wavelength of the sound wave. 3. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
