Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency.
Wavelength decreases from red to violet, and
frequency increases from red to violet.
● The energy of light is directly proportional to its
frequency. The more energy in a color, the higher its
frequency. The lower the frequency, the smaller the
amount of energy.
Optical density is the property of a
transparent medium, which measures
the speed of light through the medium.
The greater the optical density of a
medium, the slower the speed of light
through a medium.
