Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point per unit of time. Amplittude is the distanc from the crest or trough of the wave to an imaginary line. The amout of energy used determines the amplitude and frequency of a wave.

What characteristic determines the energy of a light wave?
It's wavelength or frequency. The energy of a light photon (particle of light) is equal to (h x c) / wavelength, or to h x frequency, where h is Planck's constant and c is the velocity of light in a vacuum.
Which wave characteristic is affected by the loudness or the intensity of sound?
Amplitude. (In the particle theory of light, brightness is determined by the number of photons).
What determines the energy of an electromagnetic wave?
Frequency determines the scalar energy of electromagnetic wave, E= hf=hc/r.
What is the difference between two different colors of light?
The frequency of the EM wave determines the amount of energy it contains. Therefore, different colors of light have different frequencies and amount of energy.
What determines the amount of energy wave has?
Electromagnetic Spectrum

What determines the frequency of electromagnetic waves?
An EM wave is caused by an energy source, such as something as big as a supernova or something as small as an electron changing in speed. I would say the change in the energy level of the energetic particle that causes the wave determines the frequency of the wave. +++ Whilst you may be right about the quantum physics, the frequency of the wave is that of the energy source, be it in a star or a radio transmitter, driving it.
How can you prove that light in the form of wave?
in light photons are there they have energy and energy can be transfered in form of a wave so, it can be a wave
What part of the transverse wave determines the color of light?
The wavelength
What determines the color of a electromagnetic light wave?
Its wavelength/frequency.
What characteristic proves that light is longitudinal wave?
Light waves are Transverse Waves
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 wave has sthe most light energy?
The sun wave has the most light energy, but most of you might not even know that there are more than one light energy wave and i know it.
