Q

Amplitude

A
  • intensity
  • the verticle height of a wave( y-measurment)
  • provides brightness and dullness
  • measurment of energy intensity in a wave
  • low frequency + Low amplitude= dull red
  • High frequency + high amplitude = bright violet

A
  • complexity
  • visual field reflecting /abosrbing multiple waves of varying lengths, frequencies, and amplitudes = diverse color pallet
