The wavelength. That means how far apart the waves are spaced.
Light is electromagnetic energy just like any radio signal. The main difference is that
if your favorite FM station is at, say, 98.3 on the dial, then visible light would 'tune in' anywhere between roughly 3,600,000,000 and 5,400,000,000 on the same dial.
We can't build a radio that can tune to this range, but your eye is very sensitive to
those signals. The color you see is determined by the exact number in this range ...
red at the low end, violet at the high end. If the radiation is outside this range, then
your eye no longer responds to it. These numbers refer to the 'frequency' of the signal, but the signal can also be described by its 'wavelength'. That FM station at 98.3 on the
dial has a wavelength of about 10 feet, whereas the longest visible wavelength ... red light ... is about 0.00003 inch.

What property of light determines its color?
The wavelength of light determines its color. Different wavelengths of light correspond to different colors in the visible light spectrum.
What part of the transverse wave determines the color of light?
The frequency of the wave determines the color of light. Higher frequency waves correspond to colors towards the blue end of the spectrum, while lower frequency waves correspond to colors towards the red end of the spectrum.
Which property of a light wave determines the color?
The frequency of the light wave determines its color. Higher frequencies correspond to shorter wavelengths and bluer colors, while lower frequencies correspond to longer wavelengths and redder colors.
When light hits an opaque object we see color that the object what?
The color we see is the result of the object absorbing certain wavelengths of light and reflecting others. The reflected light determines the color that reaches our eyes.
What property of light determines color?
The property of light that determines color is its wavelength. Different wavelengths of light correspond to different colors in the visible spectrum. For example, shorter wavelengths are associated with colors like blue and violet, while longer wavelengths are associated with colors like red and orange.
Which part of the eye receives the light and determines the color?
The retina receives light and contains cells called cones that are responsible for detecting color. The cones are sensitive to different wavelengths of light, allowing us to perceive color.
What property of light determines its color?
The wavelength of light determines its color. Different wavelengths of light correspond to different colors in the visible light spectrum.
What part of the eye determines the color?
iris
What part of the transverse wave determines the color of light?
The frequency of the wave determines the color of light. Higher frequency waves correspond to colors towards the blue end of the spectrum, while lower frequency waves correspond to colors towards the red end of the spectrum.
What determines the color of a material?
it depends upon what wavelength of light is absorbed

What determines the color of objects that do not emit light?
ii really dont know DD=
What determines the color of the northern light?
The kinds of particles that bump into each other in the Earth's atmosphere
What determines color of the stars?
The temperature determines the color of the star!:)
What property of light determines color?

For example, shorter wavelengths are associated with colors like blue and violet, while longer wavelengths are associated with colors like red and orange.
What determines the color of an object you see?
The color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light that it reflects. When light shines on an object, certain wavelengths are absorbed and others are reflected, and it is these reflected wavelengths that determine the color that our eyes perceive.
