It affects the color of the light. If you change the wavelength of visible light, you change the light's color. For instance. Red is a wavelength of approximately 650 nanometers. Orange, about 590. Yellow, 570. Green- 510, Blue, 475 nanometers. Indigo is 445 and Violet is about 400. You can see more here: http://eosweb.larc.NASA.gov/EDDOCS/Wavelengths_for_Colors.html#red

The wavelength defines the colour your see or if the wavelength is too long or short it becomes invisble to the human eye (infrared or ultraviolet)

The amplitude of the light wave determines the intensity of the light shown.

NO, it is not

color is related to the wavelenght (or the frequency) i.e to the photon energy

Amplitud is the intensity of the wave

The longer the wavelenght the more that you can see it.

The wavelength of light depends on what color it is, not its amplitude, at all.

The shorter the wavelength the closer the color will be to purple the longer the wavelength the closer it will be to red.

The Amplitude of ANY Wave is a measure of its Energy content. For light that would be BRIGHTNESS as seen by the Eye.
