How is wave velocity calculated?

How are the wavelength and frequency of a wave related? as frequency increases, wavelength increases as frequency increases, wavelength decreases wavelength remains constant as frequency changes wavelength and frequency are not related?

Quasar spectra often show many absorption lines that all appear to be as a result of the same electron transition (such as level 1 to level 2 in hydrogen) but that fall at different wavelengths in the spectrum. Why do we think this is the case?
