Answer:

As wavelengths increase, the frequency of waves decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

As wavelengths increase, the frequency of waves decreases.

When there are longer waves, you could think of them as taking up more time to pass. For example, if there are really long waves (not talking about amplitude) at a beach, you could watch one up-and-down wave for a long time. If there are really short waves, you could watch many waves go by in a short time frame.
