Frequency.
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.
the color of light is determined by the ____ of the light waves A. medium B.speed C.frequency D. amplitude
Wavelength
The "color" is really a wavelength. The electromagnetic spectrum determines this, every different wavelength has a corresponding color. Red being the longest, and violet being the shortest. This electromagnetic spectrum also determines whether it is visible, ultraviolet, infrared, and so on.
Frequency.
There are many types of waves covered by physics. Only electromagnetic waves in the visible light band have the property that we call "color".

The frequency of electromagnetic radiation determines whether it is gamma rays, x-rays, radio waves, ultraviolet light, or visible light. Each color of light has its own range of frequencies.

diffraction
does the color of a lease affect the velocity of the light waves projected by the laser?
The colour of something is usually determined by the light waves reflected by it. We see what is reflected and not what is absorbed. This applies to opaque objects as well as translucent ones.
Light has the property of being an electromagnetic wave.
