Note: Use answers only once
According to the diagram above, the color YELLOW has more energy than the color ___________. 
According to the diagram above, the color RED has less energy than the color ______________________ 
According to the diagram above, ___________  is the highest-frequency light in ROYGBIV.

On the electromagnetic spectrum, how is frequency related to the energy of the wave?

Energy is only determined by amplitude in light waves, not frequency.

They are directly related, higher frequency means more energy.

Frequency has no effect on the energy of light waves.
