What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength? (for example: how does wavelength change if the frequency increases?)

he wavelength decreases as the frequency increases. It's worth noting that frequency does not always increase when wavelength decreases. If you pass light through glass, its speed decreases and its frequency remains constant. This means the wavelength must decrease while the frequency stays the same. With waves it tends to be frequency that is constant. :)
