Hi,
i had this question about the light:
" what does the color we see depends on? Frequency or Wavelength ? "

The color of light is determined by its frequency, which is the number of waves that pass by in one second. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength and the bluer the color. In contrast, lower frequencies have longer wavelengths and produce colors on the red end of the visible spectrum.
Wavelength directly affects the color we see because each color has a specific wavelength range that it corresponds to. For example, red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, which is why we perceive it as a different color. The wavelengths of all the colors in the visible spectrum combine to create white light.
No, different colors cannot have the same frequency. Each color is associated with a specific wavelength range, and since frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, this means that different colors cannot have the same frequency.
The frequency of light is directly proportional to its energy. This means that as frequency increases, so does the energy of the light. This is why colors with higher frequencies, like blue and violet, appear brighter and more energetic than colors with lower frequencies, like red and orange.
The color of an object is determined by the frequency of light that it reflects or absorbs. For example, a blue object appears blue because it reflects blue light and absorbs other colors. On the other hand, a red object appears red because it reflects red light and absorbs other colors. The frequency of light also determines how we perceive the color of an object.
