Answer: The frequency would get higher and wavelength would get shorter.

Explanation:

Pitch is directly related to frequency. Frequency is perceived in the form of pitch. High pitch means high frequency and low pitch means low frequency. When a note is played on the flute, playing it on a higher pitch would affect the frequency and wavelength. Frequency would get higher and because wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency, it would get shorter.
