gollark: Also wrong, objects emit multiple frequencies at once and the relationship is more complex than that.
gollark: The energy is a property of the photon similarly to frequency and stuff, the energy doesn't have frequency either, but can I just say that trying to brute-force your way to coherent-sounding wording is not a path to great understanding.
gollark: Why does the energy have a wavelength now?
gollark: It isn't a wording problem.
gollark: What? That's obviously impossible.
