I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. The relationship between frequency and wavelength would be that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases. These measurements are inversely proportional. Hope this answers the question.

Answer: As frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Explanation:

V = f λ

V is the speed

F is the frequency  

λ is wavelength  

If we look at the above equation, it can be deduced that frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to one another. This means that if the frequency increases the wavelength decreases and vice versa is the case

Frequency is the number of cycles made per second. Wavelength is the distance between two crests or troughs.
