Answer:

The energy
of a photon is given by:

$E=h\\u$ (1)

Where:

is the Planck constant

$\\u$ is the frequency

On the other hand, there is an inverse relation between the frequency and the wavelength
$\lambda$ :

$\\u=(c)/(\lambda)$ (2)

Where
is the speed of light, which is also a constant.

If we substitute (2) in (1) we will have the following:

$E=h(c)/(\lambda)$ (3)

This means, there is direct relation between the energy and the frequency and there is an inverse relation between the energy and the wavelength.
