Although the wavelength and speed change as the wave passes from one medium to another, its frequency remains the same.\textbf{its frequency remains the same.} Wave frequency depends on the source frequency, not the medium in which it travels. Therefore,

fd=f=5.661014 Hz\begin{align*} \boxed{f_{d}=f=5.66\cdot 10^{14}\ \text{Hz}}\\ \end{align*}
