Where are your options?
But i think i know your answer. Long wavelength corresponds to low energy and short wavelength corresponds to high energy.

The energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. As the energy increases, the wave length shortens

Velocity of a wave= frequency x wavelength
so frequency = velocity of a wave / wavelength , in this case the velocity is the speed of light 300000000 metres per second.
Energy = Planck's constant x frequency, in this case we substitute velocity of light / wavelength for frequency
Energy = Planck's constant x (velocity of light / wavelength)
Planck's constant is 6.626 x 10 to the power of -34 joule seconds
So as wavelength decreases energy increases, they are inversely proportional to one another.
