Wave Frequency Across Mediums

Assertion (A): When a wave enters from one medium to another, its frequency is not changed.
Reason (R): Speed of a wave in a medium is property of the source.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

The frequency of a wave is determined by the source that generates it and remains constant as the wave propagates from one medium to another. The speed of a wave, however, is a characteristic property of the medium it is traveling through, not the source. Thus, Assertion A is true, but Reason R is false.
