Gustav presents you with two graphs representing the same wavelength of yellow light. The wavelength on the first graph is significantly taller than the wavelength on the second, indicating that the first has a higher amplitude. He asks you which yellow light you think will appear brighter, based on the height of the wavelengths. Based on your knowledge of light waves, you reply, __________.
A) "The lower amplitude light will appear brighter than the higher amplitude light"
B) "The higher amplitude light will appear brighter than the lower amplitude light"
C) "The lights will appear equally bright, since they are the same wavelength-the amplitude of the light wave does not affect brightness perception"
D) "The higher amplitude light will appear brighter because it is more saturated than the lower amplitude light"
