Wavelength of light is the distance between successive light wave peaks and determines the hue (perceived color) of a light. The intensity of light is the psychological dimensions of brightness. Finally, the term purity refers to whether a light contains one or more wavelengths, and this corresponds to the dimension of color saturation. If a person was looking at a red apple, the red color would be conveyed by the wavelength of the light wave. The brightness would be conveyed by how intense the wavelength was. Finally, the purity of the light wave would indicate its saturation.
