If the wavelength of a wave in a particular medium is tripled, what will happen to the frequency of the wave?
It will remain constant.
It will become one third of its original value.
It will become triple its original value.
It will depend on the speed of the wave.

The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. Therefore, if the wavelength of a wave is tripled, the frequency will become one third of its original value.
