How does frequency affect visible light?

Answer 1

The affects the color.

Since visible light's wavelength determines its color, altering frequency will also alter wavelength, which will alter color. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional.

Frequency affects visible light in terms of color perception. Higher frequencies correspond to shorter wavelengths, which are perceived as colors closer to violet, while lower frequencies correspond to longer wavelengths, perceived as colors closer to red. Thus, as frequency increases, the perceived color of visible light shifts towards the blue end of the spectrum, and as frequency decreases, it shifts towards the red end.
