Answer:

The frequency will increase

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Wavelength and frequency are inversely related such that waves with longer wavelength tend to have lower frequency and those with shorter wavelength have higher frequency.

  • Frequency\alpha (1)/(wavelength)
  • For example, gamma rays have a shorter wavelength but high frequency while radio waves have longer wavelength but have a low frequency.
  • The product of wavelength and frequency gives the speed of the wave.
  • Velocity = frequency × wavelength
  • Wavelength is measured in meters while frequency is measured in Hertz.
