    When there is an increase in the frequency of sound waves, the wavelength decreases.

    Explanation:

    Given data,

    The frequency of the whale changes from 200 Hz to 300 Hz

    The formula for frequency and wavelength is,

    λ = v/f

    Where v is the velocity of the sound waves in water (1531 m/s)

    The wavelength at 200 Hz is,

    λ = 1531/200

    = 7.655 m

    The wavelength at 300 Hz is,

    λ = 1531/300

    = 5.1 m

    Hence, when there is an increase in the frequency of sound waves, the wavelength decreases.
