What is the meaning of copper loss?
Loss of electrons from wire during there flow(electricity) in it because electrons are distributed as they are distributed in a copper so when they leave there society of copper they seems like loss of copper to human, who give that orientation name copper

Ah, I see.
It would not be inversely proportional to frequency.
It would increase with frequency but it would not be proportional.

Will you please elaborate me..
What do you mean by saying that "it would not be proportional"
I think when some parameter increases with some other parameter we say it directly proportional to that.
What is difference between directly proportional and proportional?

Proportional means that the relationship between two parameters x and y is linear.

Directly proportional means that the two parameters move in the same direction.
That is, if x doubles, y also doubles. If x is halved, then y is also halved.

Inversely proportional means that they move in opposite direction.
If x doubles then y is halved. If x is halved, then y is doubled.

Here we are assuming that if the two parameters are related by a formula such as

y = kx

then y is proportional to x
where, k is a constant value.

When

y = k/x

y is inversely proportional to x.

We can also extend the meaning of proportionality to cases such as

y = mx + c

where both m and c are constants.

y = m/x + c

Here x and y can be said to be inversely proportional.
