Energy apparently increases with increased frequency. but we must be careful when using the observable derivative 'frequency' as the real physical scalar quality and quantity is wavelength, normally denoted 'lambda'. frequency is not a physical but only a metaphysical concept, using 'time'. (Speed is a similar concept, only derived from time, and also only ever relative to some datum, which fact we also tend to forget).
Energy per given passing wave speed increases with decreased wavelength. i. e. Blueshifted waves are considered more energetic for a given velocity.

What is the energy in a photon of light proportional to?
The amount of energy in a photon of light is proportional to the frequency of the corresponding light wave.... frequency of the electromagnetic radiation of which the photon is a particle.
How is the frequency relate to energy of colors of light?
The energy of a single photon is directly proportional to its frequency.Specifically, E=hf, where h is the Planck constant.
How is frequency relate to energy of colors of light?
The energy of a single photon is directly proportional to its frequency.Specifically, E=hf, where h is the Planck constant.
The energy of a photon depends on what?
The energy of a photon depends on it's frequency
How do you find the energy of a photon?
You need to know the photon's frequency or wavelength. If you know the wavelength, divide the speed of light by the photon's wavelength to find the frequency. Once you have the photon's frequency, multiply that by Planck's Konstant. The product is the photon's energy.
How do you find energy when given frequency?
The energy of a photon of electromagnetic radiation is(Photon's frequency) times (Planck's Konstant) .
What is the mathematical relationship between frequency and energy?
E=hv where E is energy, v is frequency, and h is 6.626x10^-34 relates the energy of a photon to the photon's frequency.
Relationship between frequency and photon energy?
The higher the frequency, the more excited the photon stream.
Which is more energetic a red photon or a blue photon?
The energy of a photon is inversely propotional to its wavelength. The wavelength of a blue photon is less than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. Or how about this? The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. The frequency of a blue photon is greater than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. The wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.
How does energy related to frequency?
The photon energy is directly proportional to its frequency: Energy = Planck's constant * frequency.
What energy of a photon is related to?
its frequency
How frequency are related to energy?
The higher the frequency the more energy per photon.
