ive been trying to figure out why some photons possess more energy than others, and my research keeps coming back to “the frequency is directly proportional to the energy present within the photon” however i am struggling to find any explanations as to why this is. i suppose that this links to my secondary question of what type of energy do photons even posess, because clearly there is energy that is able to have tangible impacts on the world, but i dont really understand what form it takes.

To keep it eli5: a fast moving object has more kinetic energy, the frequency is the photon moving up and down, thats kinetic energy. The same is true for fast particles, the faster they are the more energy they have.
