It will become one third of its original value.
It will become one third of its original value.

It will remain constant.
It will remain constant.

It will become triple its original value.
It will become triple its original value.

It will depend on the speed of the wave.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

It will become one third of its original value.

This is because the speed of a wave is equal to the product of its frequency and wavelength (v = f × λ). If the wavelength (λ) is tripled, and the speed (v) of the wave remains constant, the frequency (f) must decrease to one third of its original value to maintain the equality.
