The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, and inversely proportional to its wavelength. Since ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than infrared light, the ultraviolet photon will have a higher frequency and therefore higher energy.
Therefore, the energy of the ultraviolet photon is 9 times larger than the infrared photon.
Therefore, the energy of the ultraviolet photon is 9 times larger than the infrared photon.
