Problem

A sound source emits waves of frequency 170 Hz170\,\text{Hz} in air where the speed of sound is 340 m/s340\,\text{m/s}. When the temperature rises, the speed becomes 350 m/s350\,\text{m/s} while the frequency of the source remains unchanged. Which statement is correct? (a) The wavelength remains unchanged. (b) Both frequency and wavelength increase. (c) The wavelength of the sound increases. (d) The wavelength of the sound decreases.
