In order to change the color of light you must change Only the frequency of the light Only the wavelength of the light Either the frequency or the wavelength of the light Neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the light

I'd say neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the light due to there not being an initial color. Also, the wavelength would not play a part in color change. Help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah :)

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

the colour of light depends on its frequency however, if you change the wavelength, you can argue that that involves changing the frequency also as light travels at the speed of light ... so the question is ambiguous. however, on the basis that you can change the wavelength of light by refraction, say, without changing its frequency [ because its speed also changes], i'd go with A.
