The correct response is:
**Higher frequency, shorter wavelength.**
Frequency and wavelength are inversely related in wave mechanics; as the frequency of a wave increases, its wavelength decreases. This relationship can be expressed by the equation:
\[ v = f \lambda \]
where \( v \) is the wave speed, \( f \) is the frequency, and \( \lambda \) is the wavelength.
