I understand it from looking at the formula v = frequency * wavelength. Wavelength has to increase since its frequency remains constant. However, what is the scientific, non-math based reasoning for this?

Redo you're reading.
The speed is FIXED.
That formula is for relating wavelength and frequency at a FIXED velocity of propagation.

You can get this by checking out the the meaning of velocity frequency and wavelength for a wave.frequency is the no. Of wavelengths of wave crossing a point per unit time.as the wave length increases there will be lesser no. Of them crossing a point so this would decrease the frequency.he you have to keep the frequency same you have to increase velocity of wave so that no. Of wavelengths of wave crossing a point remains same.as the wavelength increases velocity has to increase so as to keep frequency same.
