what is the passive circuit element which will exhibit an increase in impedance with an increase in the frequency of the signal applied across it?

 

My first guess would be an inductor. Isn't an inductor's impedance X(L) = 2πfL ? Look this up in your textbook to verify this.

Yeah I manage to find it after all ! Now am totally sure SLK001. Thanks anyway!
