As Energy Increases, Frequency Increases And Wavelength Decreases.

• A. Frequency Decreases; Wavelength Increases
• B. Frequency Increases; Wavelength Increases
• C. Frequency Increases; Wavelength Decreases
• D. Frequency Decreases; Wavelength Decreases

Answer: (C)

Photon energy is proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength. Specifically, E = h f, so increasing energy means f must increase (since h is constant). Also, since c = f λ, rearranging gives λ = c / f; with c constant, increasing frequency forces wavelength to decrease. So higher energy corresponds to higher frequency and shorter wavelength, matching the statement.
