Why does conjugation of double bonds decrase the frequency of vibrating bonds. Is it because they are more stable and thus the atoms vibrate less? If that is true, how do you deduce from the rest of the molecules?

Higher energy, lower frequency. Double bonds contain more energy. I believe this is correct, someone will have to verify.
