Does the wavelength of a photon increase if the electrical systems voltage increases? If so, how are they related to each other, is it by frequency?

What do you mean by electrical system?

Hello, and i mean like a energy source and a light bulb.

Okay! I'm not great in this area of physics, and I'm currently tired, but I'll talk anyway.. For better or worse.

The heated filament, then? There will be more voltage - literally more potential energy per charge. And so an electron could gain energy and then let it go to be radiation.

Higher energy electromagnetic waves have higher frequencies, since
$E=hf$.

So, the wavelengths would be decreased, right? However, this is a question concerning radiation, and I'm very unsure.

lol well thanks for the replies. I was able to work the equations out on paper and I rationalized my thinking on my own. Thanks for the effort though!

Congrats! :)

damn, I still didn't make it work. Okay so new question. When you said that the potential energy increases that must mean that the energy of the photons increases as well as the atom wants to attain it's base charge. And the equation below says that when a photon's size grows the number of photons necessary to reach base charge decreases.$$\frac{ Energy of System }{ Energy of Photon }$$
