How are the frequency and energy of an electromagnetic wave related? as frequency increases, energy increases as frequency increases, energy decreases energy remains constant as frequency changes energy and frequency are not related?

Energy of an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to the frequency of electromagnetic wave. The energy of electromagnetic wave in terms of frequency is given as

E = h f

where E = energy , f = frequency , h = plank's constant

from the formula we see that as frequency increase, the energy will increase.

hence the correct choice is

as frequency increases, energy increases
