Answer:

As frequency increases wavelength decreases in size

Step-by-step explanation:

The wavelength of the wave is inversely proportional to the frequency of the wave as the speed of the wave remains constant.

v = fλ ( v - speed, f - frequency, -wavelength)

$(v)/(\lambda)$ = f

Therefore at constant speed:

f ∝
$(1)/(\lambda)$ (inversely proportional)
