can be longitudinal or transverse

As a longitudinal wave moves forward, the particles move:

perpendicular to the wave's motion

move completely down the spring

When the frequency of a wave increases, what happens to the wavelength?

The wavelength is not directly affected by the frequency of a wave.

More specific information is needed to form a conclusion about the wavelength.
