Relationship between frequency and energy

For electromagnetic waves, the energy and frequency of a particular wave are related according to the equation:

E=hv

where E is the energy of the wave, v is the frequency of the wave, and h is a constant, called planks constant.

So energy and frequency for electromagnetic waves can be used interchangeably, depending on technical issues such as how they are measured.
