Answer:

The wavelength

Step-by-step explanation:

Each wavelength is perceived by our eyes as a different color. The shorter wavelengths of visible light are violet — we might call them purple. ... For example, insects can see ultraviolet waves — waves just before purple on the electromagnetic spectrum.
