A wavelength's frequency and energy (E) drop as it becomes longer. You may conclude from these equations that the wavelength grows shorter as the frequency rises. The wavelength lengthens as the frequency drops.

Since frequency and wavelength are inversely related to one another, the wavelength of the wave falls as frequency increases.
