We got the formula: speed of medium c = frequency f times wavelength lambda. f = c / lambda lambda = c / f If c increases, also f increases. c is proportional to f, if lambda stays constant. If c increases, also lambda increases. c is proportional to lambda, if fstays constant.
Speed of sound c = Frequencyf x wavelength λ.
When speed of sound c (= velocity of sound) increases wavelength λ increases.
c = λ · f
The wavelength decreases as the frequency increases. From the universal wave equation velocity = wavelength * frequency, it can be derived that wavelength = velocity / frequency, and therefore wavelength is inversely related to frequency. For inverse relationships, when one variable increases, the other decreases.
Wavelength(L), frequency(F), and velocity(v) are bound by the equation v=LF.
Therefore if the frequency remains constant and the wavelength increases then the velocity also has to increase.
If we are talking about light waves; however. the velocity is always c, the speed of light. So if wave length increase then the frequency has to decrease.
As the frequency of any spectrum increases whether it be light, sound, radiation, etc. the wavelength decreases and vise versa.
Think of it like two lines of the same length, one has a high frequency, one a low frequency. Since frequency is the amount of waves that occur in that spectrum, a higher frequency means smaller wavelength (size of each wave) while a lower frequency means larger ones.
|_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_| - Lower frequency, higher wavlength.
|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/| - Higher frequency, lower wavelength.
Wavelength is equal to the distance from one wave peak to the next, as frequncy increases the distance between peaks decrease, thus decreasing wavelength.
velocity increases
When wavelength increases, frequency decreases.
This is not true practically. Theoretically speaking as velocity increases with wavelength remains constant, then frequency has to increase accordingly. Since the formula for velocity is given as: velocity of the wave v = frequency (nu) * wavelength (lamda). In reality the characteristic, namely, frequency remains constant when the speed of the wave changes as it traverses in different medium.

The speed of the light decreases, and its wavelength increases by the same factor.
Using the relationship C = n lambda C - velocity of light, n-frequency of radiation and lambda- the wavelength. So as frequency increases definitely its wavelength decreases.

Velocity equals frequency times wavelength. If frequency is constant, velocity is proportional to wavelength; one increases at the same rate as the other.

As wavelength increases the frequency decreases.
the frequency of the wave increases.
