I wish I knew the answer...
sound and light both share wave properties (ie. frequency and wave length). unlike sound light behaves as both a wave and a particle.
The property is the amplitude, which corresponds to loudness for a sound wave or brightness for a light wave.
they differ by the length of the wave. And by the object that they hit.
Different colors have different wavelengths

The longer the wavelength, the greater the angle of refraction.
The visible light part of the electromagnetic spectrum is below the ultraviolet but above infrared. Purple light has the highest wave length and red has the lowest.
the amplitude
The visible light contains wave lenghts from 200nm to 800nm. 200 nm corresponds with the violet/blue colour and 800nm and around corresponds with red colour. Above 800nm wave lenght of the light is called infrared and below 200nm - ultraviolet. The shortest the lenght, the higher the energy. After ultraviolet we have radio waves, micro waves, X-rays, etc.
red and blue light differ in wave length because blue lights have shorter wave length than red light and shorter wave length are good for plants germination.
A prism bends light rays. White light is made up of many different wave lengths of light. A prism bends each wave length a different amount, that is why different colors are produced from the output side of a prism.
Ultraviolet has the longer wave length Infrared has the lower wave length
