Coherent light (like a laser) is a single frequency. Polychromatic light is, by definiation, multiple frequencies and cannot be coherent.

What is coherent light?

Coherent light is light in which the electric and magnetic fields are perfectly synchronized and oscillate in phase with each other. This results in a single wavelength and direction, allowing the light waves to constructively interfere and produce a uniform, focused beam. Laser light is an example of coherent light.


A laser produces light that?

is coherent, monochromatic, and concentrated in a narrow beam.


How do you produce two coherent sources of light?

To produce two coherent sources of light, you can use a laser to create a beam of light with a single frequency and direction. By splitting the laser beam into two using a beamsplitter, you can then generate two coherent sources of light that have the same frequency and phase relationship.


Is it true or wrong that if the light rays are not coherent you would not be able to see interference?

To generate an interference pattern the light needs to be coherent.


Light of only one wavelength that travels with its crest and troughs aligned?

That's monochromatic, coherent light. A well known source of such light is a laser.


Can chromatic aberration occur in a mirror?

Chromatic aberration does not occur in a mirror because chromatic aberration is caused by the different colors of a light being bent different amounts. Mirrors do not care about the different colors as they only relfect the light instead of refracting it.


Can a laser be made from a light bulb?

No. Laser light is coherent. Light bulb light is not.


What will it take for the hologram to be created?

interference of coherent light rays in a photographic emulsion. one set of coherent light rays take a direct path from the source to the emulsion, the other set of coherent light rays reflect off the object before arriving at the emulsion.


Is led light coherent?

Yes, LED light is coherent. It consists of photons that are in phase with each other, producing a single wavelength of light. This coherence is what allows LEDs to emit light with high efficiency and brightness.
