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 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.
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.
Longest color wave lengths?
There is no longest wave-length for light. It can be infinitely long (just as light waves could be infinitely short). The longest visible light that humans can see is about 750 nanometers long, which is 0.00075 of a millimeter. This color would be a shade of red. Some other animals and insects can see slightly longer wavelengths, and many can not even see what we can.
What are two things that determine the color of a light wave?
the two things that determine the color of a light wave are its wavelength and the material it reflects from.
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.
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 properties of light wave determines 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 determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
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 is an example of frequency?
Frequency can be found in sound, light, and line current. An example of frequency is, the frequency wave of light will determine what color the light is.
When light passes through a polarizing filter does it have the properties of a wave or a particle?
it has the properties of a wave (:

Is a wave a propertie of light?
Not exactly - light has wave properties. That means that it behaves like a wave.
What two properties of light confirm that light is wave?
Polarization and Interference confirm light is a wave.
