Q
Which visible light color has the highest wavelength, the lowest? What does that mean about their frequencies? What does a higher frequency correlate to?
A
Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the smallest This means that violet has the higher frequency and red has the lower frequency The higher the frequency the higher the energy, therefore violet is higher in energy?

Q
What is the equation for frequency of a light beam and what is the equation for energy of a light beam?
A
f = c / wavelength
E = hf (h is plancks constant)
