    The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is the speed of the wave

    in that particular medium. So as long as the wave stays in that medium,

    that product doesn't change.

    If the wavelength is reduced, then ...

    - - the period is reduced by the same factor

    - - the frequency is increased by the same factor.

    Neither the amplitude of the wave nor its speed in that medium

    depends on the wavelength, so they don't change.
