Light energy

The amount of energy in a given light wave is proportionally related to its frequency, thus a high frequency light wave has a higher energy than that of a low frequency light wave. Colour is made up of different Wavelengths and Frequencies Each colour has its own particular wavelength and frequency. Each colour can be measured in units of cycles or waves per second. If we can imagine light traveling in waves like that in an ocean, it is these waves that have the properties of wavelength and frequency.
