It decreases in proportion.

Explanation:

Assuming the light travels in the same medium, its speed remains constant and so to satisfy the equation #c=flambda#,if #lambda# increases, then #f# must decrease.

The frequency of light is inversely proportional to the wavelenght.

Explanation:

The frequency #f# and the wavelength #lambda# of light are related by the equation.

#c=f lambda#

Where #c# is the speed of light.

So, in terms of wavelength:

#f = c/lambda#

So, as wavelength increases, frequency deceases.
