State
Amplitude is the height of a wave and wavelength is the distance between its peaks; both are physical, not perceptual.
Show
Two light waves of equal wavelength and different amplitude differ in brightness and not in color.
Watch for
Physical properties and perceived qualities are different vocabularies. Wavelength is physical; color is perceived.
