Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy of light is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength. This relationship is described by the equation E = hν = hc/λ, where E is the energy of a photon, h is Planck's constant, ν is the frequency of the radiation, c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength of the radiation. Therefore, as frequency increases, energy increases, and as wavelength increases, energy decreases.
