1 answer

The correct statement is: Frequency increases as wavelength gets shorter.

This relationship is governed by the wave equation, which states that the speed of a wave is equal to its frequency multiplied by its wavelength (v = f * λ). When the speed of the wave is constant (as is the case for electromagnetic waves in a vacuum), an increase in frequency corresponds to a decrease in wavelength.
