E) an equal amount of energy.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Short-wavelength light has more energy compared to long-wavelength light. This is because energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, i.e., the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. Therefore, short-wavelength light, such as blue and violet light, has more energy than long-wavelength light, such as red and yellow light.
