Answer:

A. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength

Step-by-step explanation:

The wavelength calculation formula is given as:

Wavelength, λ = Speed of light (v) ÷ frequency (f)

i.e: λ =
(v)/(f) so that wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency of the wave.

This means shorter wavelength has greater frequency, and vice versa.

I hope this was helpful
