Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that visible light is an electromagnetic wave characterized by properties such as speed, amplitude, wavelength, and phase.
Recall that the color of visible light is related to the specific range of wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum.
Recognize that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and does not determine color.
Know that amplitude relates to the brightness or intensity of light, not its color.
Conclude that the wavelength of visible light determines its color, as different wavelengths correspond to different colors perceived by the human eye.
