Light of different wavelengths is different colors?
Yes that is true. Different wavelengths means different colors. The amplitude of the wave determines how bright the light is.
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 do the size of the wavelengths in electromagnetic waves determine?
The size of the wavelength w determines the energy of the wave. E = hc/w =cp and the Momentum of the wave, p=h/w.
How do the wavelengths of the transmitted waves compare to the wavelengths of the incident wave?
miracles.
What determines the loudness of a sound wave?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.

What kind of wave is a ultraviolent wave?
Wavelengths

miracles.
Which basic property determines a colored lights placement on the spectrum of visible light?
Most of the spectrum charts that I have seen are listed in wavelengths, particularly nanometers (nm). Where 1 nm = 1x10^-9 m.
What determines the loudness of a sound wave?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
What determines the color of a transparent or translucent object?
It depends upon what wavelengths of light are absorbed, and which wavelengths are transmitted.
Which component of the sound wave determines the loudness or softness of a tone?
Amplitude of a sound wave determines LOUDNESS.
What wave lengths is closest to the wave length of red light?
Visible light wavelengths fill the electromagnetic spectrum between red wavelengths and violet wavelengths.
What is the wave length of radio wave?
Their wavelengths vary from 1 mm to 100000 km.
Can you think of other ways of describing the wave length of a wave?
Wavelengths are also stated a frequencies.
