Answer : There exist an inverse relationship between the wavelength and the energy of the wave.

Explanation :

Ultraviolet radiation is dangerous because it has a high enough energy to damage skin cells.

The energy of a wave is given by the following relation :

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

So, it is clear that relation between the wavelength and the energy of the wave is inverse.

Higher the wavelength, least will be the energy of the wave.
