16. The chart to the right gives functions which model the wave patterns of different colors of light emitted from a particular source, where y is the height of the wave in nanometers and t is the length from the start of the wave in nanometers. A. What are the amplitude and period of the function describing green light waves? amplitude: period: Color Red Longest period: Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet Function y = 300 sin (t) y = 125 sin (t) 305 y = 460 sin ( t) 290 y = 200 sin(t) TT y = 40 sin (st) 235 y = 80 sin(t) B. The intensity of a light wave corresponds directly to its amplitude. Based on this information and the chart, which color emitted from the source is the most intense? Justify your answer. C. The color of light depends on the period of the wave. Which color has the shortest period? The longest period? Show supporting calculations. Shortest period: 16.
