Frequency = speed / wavelength. On the other hand, light of different frequencies looks to our eyes as different colors. Some frequencies - most, in fact - can't be seen at all.

Does thr color of light depends upon its wavelength or frequency fundamentally?

Fundamentally it is the frequency. When light travels into a medium like glass the speed and wavelength can decrease but the frequency and color do not change. If light does not pass thru different mediums then it is safe to talk about its color in terms of either frequency or wavelength (one is inversely proportional to the other by speed of light = frequency x wavelength) but fundamentally one would use frequency.


Light of different colors is different in and?

Wavelength and frequency.(But the product of the [ wavelength x frequency ] of any color is always the same number.)


What is the relationship between the color of light and its wavelength?

Each color has a wavelength and frequency associated with it. We're familiar with the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. These colors range from longer wavelength (lower frequency) red up through shorter wavelength (higher frequency) violet. As one moves up through those colors from red to violet, the color is an indication to relative wavelength.

When dealing with light the wavelength or frequency determines?

The perceived color.


What determines the color of a electromagnetic light wave?

Its wavelength/frequency.


Can be from the frequency of a light wave?

The wavelength of visible light is approximately between 400 and 700 nm; if you divide the speed of light by that value, you will get the corresponding frequencies.
