Is the energy of a photon directly proportional to its wavelength?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the energy E, of a photon is: \[E=h*\nu \] where h is the Planck constant, namely h=6.62*10^-27 erg*sec, and v is the frequency of the beam light to belong your photon. Note that: \[\nu=\frac{ c }{ \lambda } \] where c is the light speed, and lambda is the wavelength. Please substitute this last relationship into the formula for the energy of a photon, write your resultant formula, and if it is correct, you will get your answer
