Final answer:
The correct statements regarding waves are that light wavelength affects color perception, sound wave frequency affects pitch perception, and sound wave amplitude affects loudness. Amplitude is measured from the midpoint to the peak, not from peak to trough. Option A,B,C are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Among the statements provided regarding waves and wavelengths, the following are true:
Light wavelength is associated with perception of color. This is because different wavelengths of light correspond to different colors that we can perceive.
Frequency of a sound wave is associated with our perception of that sound's pitch. High-frequency sound waves are perceived as high-pitched sounds, whereas low-frequency waves are perceived as low-pitched sounds.
The loudness of a given sound is closely associated with the amplitude of the sound wave. Greater amplitude corresponds to louder sounds.
The incorrect statement among the options is:
The amplitude or height of a wave for both light and sound is not measured from the peak to the trough. The correct measurement is from the midpoint of the wave (the null point or equilibrium position) to the peak (or to the trough). Therefore, the amplitude is half the distance from the peak to the trough.
