How does photon energy change with increasing frequency?

Increases

Explanation:

Consider the following equation:

E = hf

Where E is photon energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency. As you can see, with increasing frequency, you should get an increasing energy.

This makes sense, as wavelengths with greater frequencies carry greater amounts of energy (ex. consider why gamma rays - that have a really high frequency - can be dangerous).

Hope that helps :)
