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 physical property is different between visible waves and radio wave?

The length.


What describes the differences between two sounds having the same pitch?

If pitch means frequency, then they differ in wave length and if pitch means wave length, then they differ in frequency.


How speed of sound increases wave length?

The speed of sound depends on the medium the waves pass through, and is a fundamental property of the material. It itself cannot increase wave length as it is merely a property and not an active force that can modify anything.


Is amplitude the apparent change in wavelength?

Nope. Amplitude varies as wavelength change. Amplitude of a wave is not related to wavelength. Amplitude describes the strength or forcefulness of a wave, not the length of a wave.


What are the property of the wave?

What happenes to the wave when you decrease the wave length?

When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.


What happens to a wave when you decrease the wave length?

When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
