Yes, light can have a single wavelength. A laser generates a coherent beam of light. It's all one frequency, i.e., it's all the same wavelength.

What is one wavelength of light?

The laser light is the type of light that only has one wavelength in its phase. Coherent light is light that has a single frequency and wavelength, and can be described with a single wave equation.

What happens to interference pattern if wavelength of light is decreased?

the light must be coherent - which happens when a single beam of light is split


Is it possible to coherence between light sources emitting light of different wavelengths?

I don't think so. Coherence is defined for light of a single wavelength.


Is it possible to have coherence between light sources emiting light of different wavelengths?

I don't think so. Coherence is defined for light of a single wavelength.


Is monochromatic light is a ultra violet light?

Monochromatic light is light of one wavelength. E.g. A red laser has one single wavelength and is therefore categorised as 'monochromatic light'. A standard light bulb emits light of many different wavelengths across the visible spectrum and therefore is not 'monochromatic light'.


Can an object vibrate at the wavelength of light?

No object can vibrate at the wavelength of light. wavelength of light depends on the intensity of light and electron movements.
