What are two things that determine the color of a light wave?
the two things that determine the color of a light wave are its wavelength and the material it reflects from.
Do light wave frequencies determine what color you see?
No, the wavelength determines the color of the light. 700nm corresponds to red, 400nm to about purple, and in between are the rest of the visible colours.
Is a Red light a longitudinal wave?
Light is a transverse wave. The color doesn't matter.
What does the amplitude of a light wave determine?
The amplitude of a light wave shows the light's brightness relative to waves of similar wavelength.
What color of light has the highest wave?
violet

What properties of a light wave determine its color?
Frequency or wave length.The relation between frequency f and wave length lof a light waveis given by; f = c/l, where c is light's speed.
What is an example of frequency?
Frequency can be found in sound, light, and line current. An example of frequency is, the frequency wave of light will determine what color the light is.
Do light wave frequencies determine what color you see?
No, the wavelength determines the color of the light. 700nm corresponds to red, 400nm to about purple, and in between are the rest of the visible colours.
Is a Red light a longitudinal wave?
Light is a transverse wave. The color doesn't matter.
For a light wave what is the color of the wave directly dependent on?
length
What does the amplitude of a light wave determine?
The amplitude of a light wave shows the light's brightness relative to waves of similar wavelength.
What color of light has the highest wave?
violet
In a light wave what properties tell you the color of the light?
Just ONE property, the wavelength of the light. The colour of visible light depends on its wavelength. These wavelengths range from 700 nm at the red end of the spectrum to 400 nm at the violet end.
What wave color of light has the highest frequency?
violet
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.
How big is a light-wave?
There is no set size for a light-wave. Ultraviolet waves are the smallest and get larger as the color warms up.
