the speed of light is constant, that′s what  Einstein showed.

$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{speed}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{light}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{constant},\:\mathrm{that}'\mathrm{s}\:\mathrm{what} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Einstein}\:\mathrm{showed}. \\ $$

the additional energy will raise the frequency  ⇒ the light will change its colour towards  the blue end of the spectrum

$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{additional}\:\mathrm{energy}\:\mathrm{will}\:\mathrm{raise}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{frequency} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{light}\:\mathrm{will}\:\mathrm{change}\:\mathrm{its}\:\mathrm{colour}\:\mathrm{towards} \\ $$$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{blue}\:\mathrm{end}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{spectrum} \\ $$
