Expert Solution
Step 1

as amplitude and frequency are inpendent of each other. So amplitude will not be affected if frequency is changed.

we know frequency=velocitywavelength

so frequency is inversly proportional to wavelength.

f1=vλ1f2=vλ2f2f1=λ1λ2if f2=3f13f1f1=λ1λ2λ2=λ13

if velocity is fixed and frequency is trippled then wavelength of be one third of initial.
