No, wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other for a given wave. The relationship between wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) is described by the equation:

v = λf

where v represents the velocity or speed of the wave. This equation states that the product of wavelength and frequency is equal to the wave's velocity.

Since the speed of light is constant in a given medium, if you change the wavelength of a wave, the frequency must also change in order to maintain the same velocity. If the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. This relationship holds true for all types of waves, including electromagnetic waves like light.
