Mathematically, to compute for the wavelength, λ, we have


\lambda = (v)/(f)

where v is the velocity and f is the frequency.
As we can see here, given that velocity is constant, wavelength increases as frequency decreases. This shows that wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency.

Answer: Wavelength and frequency are inversely related to each other.
