They are inversely proportional. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy and vice versa.
v=frequency; c=speed of light (~3x10^8 m/s); y=wavelength
E=hv; v=c/y
E=hc/y

Infrared radiation How can the relationship between wavelength and energy be described?
Energy E and wavelength w are related by a constant ,Ew= hc = .2E-24 Joule -meter.
What is the relationship between the wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?
inversely related
What does the wavelength of an EM wave tell about its energy?
The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.
How is the relationship between the frequency and the wavelength of electromagnetic energy?
Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength (higher frequency means a shorter wavelength). Frequency is directly proportional to the energy of the wave (higher frequencies correspond to higher energies).
What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?
The energy per photon is directly proportional to the frequency; the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength (since frequency x wavelength = speed of light, which is constant); thus, the energy per photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength.

What is the relationship between a photons energy and its wavelength?
A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low.
What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?
The energy per photon is directly proportional to the frequency; the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength (since frequency x wavelength = speed of light, which is constant); thus, the energy per photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength.
Why won't a very bright beam of red light impart more energy to an electron than a feeble beam of violet light?
Ok, so this goes back to the inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency ( energy). As wavelength increases , frequency decreases, the relationship between the two is a inverse relationship. the Red light, wavelength of approx. 700 m^-7 , has a greater wavelength then of the blue light, 400m ^-7. This means , due to frequency and wavelength having an inverse relationship, blue light has a greater frequency (energy) than red light. This is why blue light, no matter how dim, will impart more energy to an electron , then a red light would.
What is the relationship between the frequency and the velocity of electromagnetic energy?
The energy is E=hf = hc/w where f is frequency, c is the velocity and w is the wavelength.
What is planks theory?
it is a classical theory which gives us the relationship between energy and no. of vibrating particles and temperature,frequency and wavelength.
What is the relationship between energy transferred by a quantum of electromagnetic radiation and the penetrating ability of the wave?
Energy increases as the wavelength decreases.
How is wavelength related to energy?
The relationship between wavelength and energy depends on the type of wave. For electromagnetic waves, the shorter wavelengths are associated with higher energy levels. Electromagnetic energy travels in waves, and the length of the wave is inversely proportional to the energy the wave carries. Higher energy, shorter wavelengths. Lower energy, longer wavelengths.
