Question

Look at the two conceptual examples of light waves shown below.These two waves ________. 
A)have different wavelengths 
B)have different amplitudes 
C)represent the same hue (colors)of light 
D)travel at different velocities

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two waves have different wavelengths, as evident from the difference in the distance between successive peaks/troughs of the waves. The amplitude of the wave (height of the peaks/troughs) is not provided, so it cannot be determined if they are different or not. The hue or color of the light is not provided, so it cannot be determined if they represent the same hue/color. The velocity of the waves is also not provided, so it cannot be determined if they travel at different velocities.
