What does the frequency of a light wave tell you?
The frequency of a light wave determines its color. Refer to the electromagnetic spectrum to see the exact wavelengths of certain waves and what their colors would be.
What determines the energy of an electromagnetic wave?
Frequency determines the scalar energy of electromagnetic wave, E= hf=hc/r.
What part of the transverse wave determines the color of light?
The wavelength
What is the relationship between color and frequency and energy of an electromagnetic wave?
En electromagnetic wave is assimilable to a photon. The energy of a photon is equal to its frequency (that determines its "color") multiplied by the Planck's constant (h).
What type of wave is a light wave an example of?
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.

What type of wave is a light wave an example of?
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
Is the light wave electromagnetic or no?
The light wave is electromagnetic yes.
What does an object do to light so you can see it?
Reflects all light beams which have the wave length of the color of that object. Each color has a particular wave length in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Energy that travels at speed of light?
That can be light, or some other electromagnetic wave (light is an electromagnetic wave), or gravitational waves.
What determines the amount of energy wave has?
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Is light a mechanial wave or an electromagnetic wave A tranverse wave or a compressional wave?
electromagnetic, transverse
What determines the frequency of an electromagnetic wave?
The frequency of the source that produced the wave.
What kind of wave does light travel as?
Light is an electromagnetic wave.
