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 properties of a light wave determine its color?
Frequency or wave length.The relation between frequency f and wave length lof a light waveis given by; f = c/l, where c is light's speed.

What happens to the wave and the color of the wave when you increase or decrease amplitude?
You seem to be talking about a light wave. If you increase the amplitude the light gets brighter, and if you decrease it gets dimmer. Amplitude has no effect on colour.
The wave patterns seen in Figure 25.6 are composed of circles What does this tell you about the speed of the waves in different directions?
speed of the waves will not change by the pattern of waves. the speed of a wave will change only when the medium or its properties change.
What are some scientific aspects of color?
Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light power versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light sources, etc., based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra. By defining acolor space, colors can be identified numerically by their coordinates. Edit: Especially light is an electromagnetic wave. So the frequency of the wave decides the colour. We have basically seven colours namely violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. If all get mixed and viewed then it is sensed as white. If nothing is present then it is sensed as black. Suppose eye sees brown colour. This is due to over all effect of proprotionate mixing of red, blue and green.
Is a wave a properties of light?
Not exactly - light has wave properties. That means that it behaves like a wave.
The quality in sound that corresponds to color in light is?
sound and light both share wave properties (ie. frequency and wave length). unlike sound light behaves as both a wave and a particle.

What does light travel in?
The simplest answer is that light consists of particles with wave properties. Elementary particles also have wave properties. This is how light travels.

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.
