How does wavelength affect the frequency of a wave?
i dont know either.
What frequency have the shortest wavelength?
For light they would be gamma rays, or waves with a frequency greater than 1 * 10^20 (10000000000000000000) Hz. And really, as a general rule, the higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength. If you want to calculate the frequency or wavelength you take the speed of light (~3.00*10^8 m/s) and divide it by either the frequency or wavelength, and your answer will be the wavelength (if you used frequency) or the frequency (if you used wavelength).
How does increasing the wavelength affect the frequency?
The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number ... it's the speed of the wave. So if the frequency is changed by some percentage, the wavelength changes by the same percentage in the other direction, in order to keep their product the same as it was.
Is wavelength and frequency vary inversly?
The speed at which a wave propagates is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The wavelength and the frequency vary inversely because the speed of a certain type of wave in a certain type of medium under certain conditions is constant.

The lower an electromagnetic wave's wavelength is the higher its frequency is?
That's correct.When you multiply the frequency times the wavelength , the result isalways the same number. So when either one decreases, the other onehas to increase.
How do you increase the frequency of a wave?
Either shorten the wavelength or increase it's speed.
How do you increase frequency of a wave?
Either shorten the wavelength or increase it's speed.

Does thr color of light depends upon its wavelength or frequency fundamentally?
Fundamentally it is the frequency. When light travels into a medium like glass the speed and wavelength can decrease but the frequency and color do not change. If light does not pass thru different mediums then it is safe to talk about its color in terms of either frequency or wavelength (one is inversely proportional to the other by speed of light = frequency x wavelength) but fundamentally one would use frequency.
How do you find wavelength of a wave?
The speed of a wave equals the frequency times the wavelength (speed = frequency x wavelength). Therefore, the wavelength would equal the speed divided by the frequency. Also, the speed of a wave in a vacuum is the speed of light, c, which is a constant.
