Answer:

D. Frequency

Explanation:

The energy of an  electromagnetic wave is proportional to frequency, mathematically it is expressed as;

E ∝ f

E = hf

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

The equation above can also be expanded to;

[tex]E = hf = h \frac{c}{\lambda}[/tex]

where;

c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave

Since the speed of light is constant, we can conclude that the energy of the electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength.

Therefore, the correct option for direct proportionality is FREQUENCY
