Answer:

Energy decreases and wavelength gets longer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy of a wave is given by :


E=hf

Where

h is Planck's constant

f is the frequency of the wave

As frequency decreases, the energy of the wave also decreases and wavelength gets longer. Hence, the option is (d).
