when frequency increases, wavelength

They are inversely related (for a given wave speed). v = f · λ, so λ = v / f. If the frequency increases, wavelength decreases (e.g., doubling f halves λ). For light in vacuum v = c, so λ = c/f. Note: when a wave crosses into a different medium its speed (and thus wavelength) can change, but the frequency stays the same.
