Light comprising just one particular wavelength.
monochromatic light consists ofwaves having same wavelenths
monochromatic light is a
light having single wavelenth
Answer 1: a light which has only one wavelength(or frequency) is called monochromatic light. for example - laser is a monochromatic but sunlight is not monochromatic because it contains group of frequency of various colours.

Answer 2: It is light of a single (mono) colour (chromata). Monochromatic light cannot be separated into separate colours with a prism. Monochromatic light is light all of the same frequency.

White light is not monochromatic as it can be separated into a "spectrum" by a prism, and neither are many other colours, like purple which is basically light lacking in green. Violet light is monochromatic, although because of the limitations of the human visual system it appears to be a sort of purple.

Orange and other "Secondary" (human perceived) colours can be monochromatic or they can made with say green light and red light. These are two very different lights, as show by the ability of the prism to reseparate the red and green lights, but because of the limitation of the human eye are perceived the same. Similarly many dyes and combinations of lights will appear the same to most humans, but in fact are completely different spectrally and are only related in how they interact with the human visual system.

Monochromatic polarized light is just light of uniform frequency. It is always polarized because with only one frequency of light, the phase difference between the components of the wave is constant.

Monochromatic light is the light which has one colour and single wavelength and vibrates in all planes.

Polychromatic light is the light with different colours and different wavelengths.

Monochromatic means having to do with a single color, so monochromatic illumination is lighting from a source that consists of only one color.

No. It's a mix of different colors, which you can observe - among other things - when you see a rainbow.

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'.


Is the light from an incandescent lamp monochromatic?

No, an incandescent bulb i.e. a bulb that emits light by the generation of heat, emits white light and is therefore not monochromatic. For a source to be monochromatic, the light emitted must be of a single wavelength.


What is monochromatic in physics terms?

Mono means single Chrome means colour So monochromatic means single coloured light Example: Light coming from Sodium vapour lamp ---- Monochromatic means (light) of a single frequency or, what is the same thing, of the same wavelength.


A good example of white light?

White light is another name for polychromatic light. That is light that contains more than one wavelength. For example, sunlight is white light. An example of monochromatic light is a sodium vapour lamp or a LASER.


Is LED a monochromatic light?

Almost, but it has some spreading. Laser diodes are monochromatic.


What is monochromatic light compared to white light?

Monochromatic light contains light of only one colour (or frequency), while white light contains light of different colours and frequencies.


What is the nature of monochromatic light?

Monochromatic means "single-color". In contrast, white light is a mixture of many colors. In monochromatic light, each individual piece of light has the same frequency, and the same wavelength. Each piece of light does not necessarily have the same phase; if it does, the light is said to also be coherent.


Do light microscopes use monochromatic light?

No, normal white light.
