Why do the frequencies of EM waves increase as the wavelengths decrease?

Because the product of (wavelength) multiplied by (frequency) is always the
speed of the wave, and all electromagnetic waves have the same speed.
So if you make one larger, the other one must become smaller in inverse
proportion.
If that answer isn't quite enough, another contributor has stopped by, and
he's convinced that the following fact will clear everything up immediately:
Answer2: The real constant of Quantum Theory is E= hc/r = zQ2c/r the constant is E= 1.25 uevm/r.

If colors have different wavelengths do they have different frequencies and temperatures?
Yes, light is electromagnetic waves. The longest wavelengths have the lowest frequencies and the lowest temperatures. The shortest wavelengths have the highest frequencies and the highest temperatures.
Which region of the electromagnetic spectrum is characterized by the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies?
Radio waves.
What do light waves of greater frequency have?
The meaning of a high frequency wave is a shorter wavelength.For electromagnetic waves in general (including light):* At greater frequencies, you get shorter wavelengths.* At greater frequencies, you get more energy per photon.
What are the waves with the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic?
ELF radio waves or extremely low frequency radio waves. These may have frequencies below 1 Hz in some cases!
What is extremely low frequency radiation?
Low frequency waves are waves with long wavelengths, by definition, since their cycle is slowly repeated. One example is AM radio waves compared to visible light waves. AM radio waves have a frequency of around 1 MegaHertz (1,000,000 s-1) and are around 500 meters long. In contrast, visible light waves have a frequency of around 500 TeraHertz (300,000,000,000,000 s-1) and are around 500 nanometers long (.000000500 meters).
Sound waves have two parts?
Sound waves have wavelengths and frequencies.
What waves the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?
I'll answer your question for a variety of waves. For sound waves, higher pitch sounds have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. For water waves, the slowest moving waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. For seismic waves, S waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than P waves. For electromagnetic waves, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than, say, visible light. For quantum mechanical, de Broglie waves, particles with classical analogues of momentum have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than individual particles.
If colors have different wavelengths do they have different frequencies and temperatures?
Yes, light is electromagnetic waves. The longest wavelengths have the lowest frequencies and the lowest temperatures. The shortest wavelengths have the highest frequencies and the highest temperatures.

How does the energy assoicated with waves change wave length changes?
Longer wavelengths (and lower frequencies) have less energy. Shorter wavelengths (and higher frequencies) have more energy.
