There's no relationship between the frequency and the medium.
The frequency of a wave is determined by the source. Once the wave leaves
the source and sets out on its journey, the frequency doesn't change, regardless
of what kind of stuff the wave encounters and has to travel through.

Relationship between wave speed and frequency?
For a particular type of wave, in a specified medium, the multiple of the two is a constant.
What is the mathematical relationship between frequency wavelenght and wave speed?
Speed = frequency x wavelength.
What is the relation between speed frequency and wave length?
wave length and frequency are the product of the wave speed, so the wave speed is a constant variable and the other two are inversely proportional the wave length increases, as the frequency decreases
What is the frequency of a wave if its wavelength is 5 m?
That depends, what wave you are talking about. The general relationship is: speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for frequency: frequency = speed / wavelength If you are talking about an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, the speed is about 300,000,000 meters/second. Other waves, however, can have quite different speeds.
What wave property affects the speed of a wave?
Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.
