Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wavelength of light determines its hue, which is the specific color that we perceive. The other answer choices are not determined by wavelength. Retinal disparity is determined by the difference between the images received by each eye, brightness is determined by the intensity of the light wave, and amplitude is the height of the wave, which determines the intensity and loudness of sound waves, but not the color of light.
