As wavelength increases, frequency decreases. Both are inversely related to one another. And light of energy is inversely related to wavelength. So the longer the wavelength the lesser the energy
The color emitted corresponds to the frequency and wavelength and energy. This results to a specific electron transition between different energy levels.
All colors of light have different energies,When a electron moves from an excited state to a closer level to the ground state this jump emits photons which causes an emission in light. If the electron goes from the ground state to a more excited state it absorbs light causing a blacks space or line in the spectral line
Light can be used to measure energy transitions of electrons by measuring the corresponding wavelengths.
