The relationship between wavelength, frequency and energy of Electromagnetic Radiation is given by E = hf = hc/lamba -------(1) So from (1) there's a linear relationship between E and f. The higher the frequency, f, the higher the energy E. Also from (1) it is obvious that the lower the wavelength, lambda, the higher the energy, E. This means the answer is D.
