* As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases.
* As the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases.
Here's a simple analogy:
Imagine a rope tied to a wall. If you shake the rope slowly, you create long, slow waves. If you shake it quickly, you create short, fast waves. The slower shaking creates a longer wavelength, and the faster shaking creates a shorter wavelength.
The relationship between frequency and wavelength is described by the following equation:
v = fλ
where:
* v is the speed of the wave
* f is the frequency
* λ is the wavelength
This equation shows that the speed of a wave is constant, and if the wavelength increases, the frequency must decrease to maintain the same speed.
Important Note: The speed of a wave depends on the medium it travels through. For example, light travels faster in a vacuum than it does in water.
