Answer:
its velocity, wavelength and frequency all change
Explanation:
Whenever a wave crosses the boundary between two media of different densities, its velocity, frequency and wavelength changes. This appears as a bending of the wave as it crosses the boundary from one medium to another.
Refraction is a fundamental property of waves. Hence when light is travelling from air into water, it wavelength, speed and frequency all changes at the interface between the two media.
