Answer: The above statement is FALSE

Explanation: According to the electromagnetic spectrum, Red light has the highest wavelength but low frequency and energy in comparison to a Yellow light. Red light has as frequency of about 640-700 nm, whereas Yellow light has a wavelength of about 530-600 nm.

But in case of Yellow light, it has low wavelength, but high frequency and high energy.

The wavelength is inversely proportional to its frequency, but frequency and energy are directly proportional to each other.
