Answer:

Wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency of wave.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and frequency is inverse. Mathematically, it can be written as :

$\lambda=(v)/(\\u)$ .......(1)

Where

v is the speed of the wave

$\\u$ is the frequency of wave. It is defined as the number of oscillations per second.

$\lambda$ is the wavelength i.e. it is the distance between two crests or troughs.

So, from equation (1) it is clear that the relationship between frequency and wavelength is inverse.
