photonenergy, E = h v ; v frequency
E = h c λ
E α 1 λ
Therefore, as we can see from the above formula, photon energy is inversely proportional to wavelength and directly proportional to frequency.
photons are basically the energy packets which occur due to electron being transit from higher to lower level.
