    1. the same as in the first.

    2. greater than in the first

    3. less than in the first.

    4. Unable to determine

    Answer

    The answer is 2. Greater than in the first

    Explanation

    The speed of a wave v is related to its wavelength λ by the formulav=f λ, where f is the frequency of the wave. The frequency will not change when the wave passes into a second medium, so

    λ2>λ1

    Fλ1>fλ2

    Since f>0

    And V2>v1
