Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic properties of waves: Wavelength, Amplitude, and Frequency (or Number of wavelengths).
Wavelength is related to the color or hue of light. Shorter wavelengths correspond to blue/violet colors, while longer wavelengths correspond to red colors.
Amplitude is related to the brightness or intensity of light. Higher amplitude means brighter light.
Frequency or Number of wavelengths is related to the pitch in sound waves, but in the context of light, it is not directly related to hue or brightness.
Match the wave properties with their perceived properties: Wavelength with hue, Amplitude with brightness, and understand that Number of wavelengths is not typically used to describe light properties in terms of hue or brightness.
