If the wavelength of sound is increased by a factor of 3, what happens to its speed and frequency?

  2.Its frequency increases by a factor of 3, but the speed stays the same.
  3.Its frequency decreases by a factor of 3, but its speed stays the same.
  4.Its speed decreases by a factor of 3, and so does its frequency.
