The energy of a single photon is directly proportional to its frequency.Specifically, E=hf, where h is the Planck constant.

Color light is determined by the frequency of the light waves. Different colors of light correspond to different frequencies of light waves. For example, red light has a lower frequency than blue light. The relationship between color light and frequency is that higher frequencies are associated with colors towards the violet end of the spectrum, while lower frequencies are associated with colors towards the red end.
Color is the frequency of visible light. The visible light wave range in frequency from 430 trillion hertz, which is red light, to 750 trillion hertz, or violet light.?æ
The color of light is determined by its frequency, with higher frequencies corresponding to bluer colors and lower frequencies to redder colors. Wavelength is inversely related to frequency, so shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies and bluer colors, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies and redder colors.
Actually no. Energy equals Planck's constant times frequency.
Wavelength Frequency and Photon Energy
The amount of energy is directly proportional to the frequency of the light. Since violet has the greatest frequency, it also has the maximum energy and red has the least.
Violet is the visible light color that has the highest energy photons. Ultraviolet and X-rays aren't really "colors", but they have even more energy per photon.Basically, the energy is proportional to the frequency, so the higher the frequency, the higher the energy.
Different wavelengths of light differ in their frequency and energy levels. Shorter wavelengths have higher frequency and energy, while longer wavelengths have lower frequency and energy. This difference in energy levels is what makes different wavelengths of light appear as different colors to the human eye.
In a spectrometer, each dye will absorb light of certain colors and transmit light of other colors because of the nature of the atoms of the object and the frequency of the light. If the frequency of the light is the same as the frequency that the electrons in the atoms are vibrating, then the light will be absorbed and transferred into vibrational motion.
Light, being a vibrating electro-magnetic wave, has a frequency of vibration.
Inversely frequency = speed of light / wavelength
