Why are the graphs for the distribution of light from the Sun as a function of (a) frequency and (b) wavelength not exactly reversed? ( www.wtamu.edu )

I thought that the frequency of light was directly inverse to the wavelength by a constant. In other words, I assumed that graphing the frequency of light as a function of wavelength would be a straight inverse line. Because of that, the graphs for the distribution of light from the sun as functions of frequency and wavelength...

I think that answer is a touch misleading because it makes it sound like this is a fundamental physical limit, when really it’s just the scale where our current theories break down and give nonsense results, so we don’t really know what is going on at that scale yet.
