Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of energy is directly proportional to the photon's electromagnetic frequency and thus, equivalently, is inversely proportional to the wavelength. The higher the photon's frequency, the higher its energy. Equivalently, the longer the photon's wa

Wavelength and energy have an indirect relationship.
Energy is directly proportional to frequency. As frequency increases, so does the energy. We know that frequency and wavelength have indirect relationship: if one increases, the other decreases. Based on this, energy and wavelength are indirectly related.
