The cones in the retina of our eyes are sensitive to certain frequencies of light within the visible light spectrum (ROYGBIV). Light waves with longer wavelengths (within the visible range of frequencies) are perceived to be on the red, orange, yellow side of the spectrum, while higher frequencies/shorter wavelengths of light appear blue or violet.

The color of light is determined by the what of the light waves?
Wavelength
Is the color of light determied by the speed of the light waves?
the color of light is determined by the ____ of the light waves A. medium B.speed C.frequency D. amplitude
Do light waves travel in straight paths called rays?
google it lazy bum. No, light waves are just that-- waves. The color of the wave is determined by it's frequency- normal light is white because it is low frequency. The frequency is how fast the light "waves". But a laser pointer has red light, which has a higher frequency, and therefore is only one color. Hope this helps!
What is the color of light determined by?
change of photons
What is the color that an object appears to be determined by?
It is determined by the wavelengths of light that reach your eyes.

Which waves have lower frequency radar waves or visible waves?
Radar waves have a lower frequency that light waves.The frequency of a light wave is related to wavelength and speed by the equation c = »½. The color of a light wave is also determined by the frequency. The amplitude and brightness are not related to the frequency.
How is the color of light determined?
By the light's wavelength.
What color are the longest waves of light?
== ==
The color of the light is determined by its?
Wavelength, or alternatively its frequency.
Does the color of a laser affect the velocity of the light waves projected by the laser?
does the color of a lease affect the velocity of the light waves projected by the laser?
What is color of light determined by?
change of photons
What is the color of light determined by?
change of photons
Does the color of the laser affect the velocity of the light wave projected by the laser?
No, velocity and color are independent. Color is determined by frequency, and speed is determined by what material the light is traveling through.
What is the color that an object appears to be determined by?
It is determined by the wavelengths of light that reach your eyes.
