How does frequency change as wavelength increases?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Frequency increases. Frequency decreases. Frequency is unaffected. Frequency increases or decreases depending on how quickly wavelength increases.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Using the formula Velocity= wavelength x frequency If for example we are talking about the speed of light (Which does change) and the wavelength is reduced, then the frequency has to increase in order to balance out to the speed of light. EDIT: Another way to view it is like this: The frequency of a wave changes with the wavelength by what happens to the wavelength. For instance, if the wavelength is doubled, the frequency is halved, and vise versa.
