Answer

Less.

Work Step by Step

Multiply the frequency by the wavelength to get the energy of a single photon. However, based on figure 6.4, the highest energy photons are on the left side of the figure while the lowest energy photons are on the right. Since the unknown wave is to the right of the visible light, it would have less energy.
