Answer:

The wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wavelength (λ): The distance between the two crusts or two troughs in the wave is known as the wavelength.

Frequency (f): It refers to the repetitions in a certain period of time.

These two are the key characteristics of a wave. These two are related as given below:


v = \lambda * f


\lambda = (v)/(f)

Here v = speed of the wave.

The wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other.
