Wavelength, Frequency, or Photon Energy
A photon's energy is directly proportional to its frequency (inversely proportional to its wavelength).In any given interval of the spectrum, the highest frequency (shortest wavelength) carries the most energy.For visible light, that corresponds to the violet end of the 'rainbow'. The last color your eyes can perceiveat that end is the color with the most energy per photon.
Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.
Each photon of blue light has more energy than a photon of any other color, because the blue ones have the highest frequency.
High-energy photons correspond to short-wavelength light while low-energy photons correspond to long-wavelength light. In short, the answer is red. For short-wavelengths (high energy photons) it would appear blue.
Wavelength, Frequency, or Photon Energy
Visible light has a higher frequency, a higher energy per photon, and a smaller wavelength, compared to infrared.
The amount of energy in a photon of light is proportional to the frequency of the corresponding light wave.... frequency of the electromagnetic radiation of which the photon is a particle.
Photon energy can be increased by following two methods. 1). by increase in frequency of one photon as (E = hf); where f denotes the frequency of corresponding region. In this case, the electromagnetic region will change to higher frequency region or shorter wavelength region. The photon energy may increase, but not the intensity. 2). secondly increase in the number of photons (n) as E= nhf. If the number of photons of a particular frequency increase, photon energy also increases. In this case, intensity of light of definite frequency (either blue, red etc.) increase simultaneously.

The energy of a photon depends on it's frequency
Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.
Each photon of blue light has more energy than a photon of any other color, because the blue ones have the highest frequency.
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
You need to know the photon's frequency or wavelength. If you know the wavelength, divide the speed of light by the photon's wavelength to find the frequency. Once you have the photon's frequency, multiply that by Planck's Konstant. The product is the photon's energy.
The energy of a photon of electromagnetic radiation is(Photon's frequency) times (Planck's Konstant) .
The longer the wavelength of light, the smaller its frequency, and the less energy there is for every photon.
