An underwater transducer produces a sound wave with frequency \(f_0\) and wavelength \(\lambda_{\text{water}}\). The sound wave travels through the water at a speed of \(1500\text{ m/s}\) and exits into the air above, where the speed of sound is \(340\text{ m/s}\). How do the frequency \(f_{\text{air}}\) and wavelength \(\lambda_{\text{air}}\) of the sound wave in air compare to its frequency \(f_0\) and wavelength \(\lambda_{\text{water}}\) in water?
