Solution

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