It is not meaningful to talk about "amplitude of the visible light spectrum". One might think that more intense light would mean greater amplitude of the light wave, but it just means more photons.

"Visible light" is made up of photons. A single photon has a certain quantifiable energy, and that energy is discussed in terms of frequency or wavelength. A photon with low frequency (towards the red end of the visible light spectrum, for instance) is less energetic than a photon with high frequency (towards the blue end and beyond).

For all intents and purposes, the amplitude of a photon wave-packet could be said to be of "unit amplitude", the amplitude of light.

Does a prism separate light into only the visible spectrum or the entire spectrum?

A prism separates light into the visible spectrum, which includes the colors of the rainbow. It does not separate light into the entire electromagnetic spectrum, which ranges from gamma rays to radio waves.


Brightness is to amplitude as hue is to?

wavelength. In the context of light waves, brightness is determined by amplitude while hue is determined by the wavelength of the light wave. Changes in wavelength correspond to different colors in the visible spectrum, just like changes in amplitude affect brightness.

Does brown light exist in the visible spectrum?

No, brown light does not exist in the visible spectrum. The visible spectrum ranges from violet to red, and brown is a combination of different colors that are not within this range.
