Decrease in Size of Alternator/Motor with Increase in Frequency

In aircraft the frequency of operation of electrical systems used is mostly is 400hz. The reason given is that the size/weight of the equipment reduces as the frequency increases. can any one please explain me the theory behind this with some formula, please do not stop with formula. How and why the size reduces ? i had already checked yahoo answers, but there was no satisfactory reply any where
