Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The attribute of the light wave that allows Adele to differentiate between the bright and pastel versions of her green sample is the amplitude of the waves. Amplitude determines the intensity or brightness of the light. Higher amplitude waves are brighter while lower amplitude waves are dimmer. So, Adele would be able to distinguish between the different intensities of green because they would have different amplitudes.
