If an object absorbs light of most visible frequencies (absorbs because the light's frequency matches electron's frequency), and reflects red, for example, the object appears red. (reflect because red falls below or above the electron's natural frequencies).
The photon with the highest frequency has the most energy because E = hf = hc/Î» (recall that c = f Î»). So a higher frequency corresponds to a lower wavelength. The highest energy of the above choices is blue.
