Aiden, Oliver, and Anika are studying for their physics exam. They are discussing the relationship between wavelength and energy of light. Aiden says, 'Shorter wavelength has more energy.' Oliver says, 'Wavelength determines the speed of light.' Anika says, 'Longer wavelength has more energy.' And their friend, who is not a physics student, says, 'Wavelength and energy are not related.' Who is correct?

• Aiden: Shorter wavelength has more energy

• Oliver: Wavelength determines the speed of light

• Anika: Longer wavelength has more energy

• Their friend: Wavelength and energy are not related
