The energy of a photon increases with its frequency. True or False?

Question

The energy of a photon increases with its
frequency. True or False?

Answer 1

Since the energy of photons depends upon the energy of source electrons, very high-frequency electromagnetic radiation, such as gamma rays, X-rays, and ultraviolet light, possess very short wavelengths and, therefore, a great deal of energy. On the other hand, lower frequency radiation, such as visible, infrared, microwave, and radio waves, have greater wavelengths, but correspondingly lower frequencies and energy. However, it is important to realize that though the electromagnetic spectrum of energy is commonly thought of as comprising about 24 orders of magnitude in frequency and wavelength, no intrinsic upper or lower boundaries exist.

Answer 2

The energy of a photon is E = hf. This is in your book.
