as a wave enters a different medium the characteristic that does NOT change is the frequency.

Step-by-step explanation:

A disturbance which propagates or passes through a medium and transports energy from one point to another is known as a wave.

When a wave passes through a certain medium then there will be no change in the frequency of wave as a medium does not affect the energy (or wave) passing through it.

That is why, frequency remains the same when a wave enters a different medium.
