Visible Light Waves
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye, comprising wavelengths from approximately 380 to 750 nanometers.
Frequency
In physics, the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time, often measured in Hz (Hertz), which is one occurrence per second.
Amplitude
In physics, it refers to the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.
- Understand the effects of wavelength and amplitude on how we perceive light.
