A group of students are learning about transverse waves and the electromagnetic spectrum. They want to know which characteristics of these waves affect how energy travels and how they see light in different colors. Which statements correctly describe the characteristics of transverse waves and their effects on energy, brightness, and color?

• Amplitude determines the color of light that people see, not brightness.

• Higher frequency waves carry more energy than lower frequency waves of the same amplitude.

• Light waves require a medium like air or water to travel through space.

• Amplitude determines the brightness of light but not its color.

• Higher amplitude waves have shorter wavelengths than lower amplitude waves of the same type.
