    The frequency of the wave has not changed.

    In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

    where v is the wave's speed and is the wavelength.

    Applying the formula:

    - In air, the frequency of the wave is:

    - underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

    So, the frequency has not changed.
