How does the energy of a single photon of electromagnetic radiation change if its wavelength is halved?

A) It is halved because photon energy is directly proportional to wavelength.

B) It remains unchanged because photon energy depends only on wave speed.

C) It doubles because photon energy is inversely proportional to wavelength.

D) It quadruples because photon energy depends on the square of the frequency.
