- MY NOTES Below are several relationships between wavelength of light, frequency of light, and energy of a photon of light. Choose each correct relationship. OAs wavelength increases, frequency increases. OAs wavelength increases, frequency decreases. OAs wavelength increases, energy increases. V As wavelength increases, energy decreases.
