Q

Connection between frequency (hertz) and time period (seconds)

A

Frequency = 1 : time period

Time period = 1 : frequency

Q

Speed of the wave depends on the medium

A

When we increase the frequency of the oscillation, we only decrease the wavelength. The speed stays the same.
However, changing the medium* of the wave can affect the speed
