We know from common algebra that when a denominator in a fraction, get high the fraction is getting low and vice versa. We can therefor conclude the following: * Light with a high wavelength or low frequency have a low energy. * Light with a low wavelength or high frequency have a high energy. We observe that that for wavelength that: Ultraviolet < visible light < infrared. Vice versa for frequency: Ultraviolet > visible light > infrared.
