Question

  1. which of the following best describes the relationship between wavelength and energy of light? clear all wavelength and light energy have no relationship wavelength and light energy are equal to each other the shorter the wavelength the higher the energy the longer the wavelength the higher the energy

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The energy of a photon of light is given by the formula $E = h
u=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$, where $E$ is energy, $h$ is Planck's constant, $
u$ is frequency, $c$ is the speed of light, and $\lambda$ is wavelength. From this formula, we can see that energy and wavelength are inversely - proportional. So, shorter wavelengths correspond to higher energies.

Answer:

the shorter the wavelength the higher the energy
