Answer:

Frequency

Step-by-step explanation:

Photons are the packet of energy. They are massless and chargeless particles. They travel in the vacuum with the speed of light. The energy of photon is given by :


E=h\\u

Where

h = Planck's constant


\\u = frequency of photon

Or
E=(hc)/(\lambda)

c = speed of light


\lambda = wavelength of photon

From the above equation, it is clear that the energy of photon is directly proportional to its frequency.
