Frequency of EM wave depends on nature of source but not medium. In case of wavelength, velocity in vacuum are f and λ, then
C0=1μ0ϵ0=fλvacuum 
Velocity in medium
Cm=coμRϵR=f.λmedium b±b24ac2a
For dielectric medium, μr = 1
Cm=C01×4=C02. ϵR=4
Cλ
CmC0=λmλ0λm=CmC0×λ0=C02×C0,λ0=λ02
Hence, wavelength is halved and frequency does not change.
