A sound wave propagates in air at 21°C with frequency 4.50 kHz. It passes through a region where the temperature gradually changes, and then it moves through air at 0°C. (a) What happens to the speed of the wave? The speed decreases because of the decrease in the air's density. O The speed increases because of the decrease in the air's density. O The speed decreases because of the increase in the air's density. O The speed increases because of the increase in the air's density. O The speed remains unchanged. X What is the speed of the wave at 0°C? 331 ✓ m/s (b) What happens to its frequency? O The frequency increases with the decrease in temperature. O The frequency decreases with the decrease in temperature. O The frequency remains unchanged. What is the frequency of the wave at 0°C? kHz (c) What happens to its wavelength? O The wavelength increases because the wave crests are closer together. O The wavelength decreases because the wave crests are further apart. O The wavelength increases because the wave crests are further apart. O The wavelength decreases because the wave crests are closer together. O The wavelength remains unchanged. What is the wavelength of the wave at 0°C? m

Seiche
A seiche is an oscillating standing wave in a body of water. The term seiche pronounced saysh) can be understood by the sloshing of water back and forth in a swimming pool. The same phenomenon happens on a much larger scale in vast bodies of water including bays and lakes. A seizure can happen in any enclosed or semi-enclosed body of water.
