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.

Which has a shorter wavelength green light or red light?
Red light has the longest visible wavelength, so any other color has a shorter one.
What is a light having one wavelength called?
At a single wavelength, it is called monochromatic
What happens when light and its wavelength travels from one medium to another?
The speed of light and its wavelength decreases when it enters a new medium. The physicist Snell showed that it can vary.
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
What is the distance between one peak or crest of a wave light?
wavelength
Can light have a single wavelength?
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.
Which has a shorter wavelength green light or red light?
Red light has the longest visible wavelength, so any other color has a shorter one.
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.
What is the relationship between wavelength and frequencyand the speed of light?
Light with a lower frequency will have a longer wavelength. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other (i.e. as one increases, the other decreases and vice-a-versa). The product of frequency and wavelength is the speed of light.
What changes when going from one type of light to another?
Wavelength
What is a light having one wavelength called?
At a single wavelength, it is called monochromatic
What happens when light and its wavelength travels from one medium to another?
The speed of light and its wavelength decreases when it enters a new medium. The physicist Snell showed that it can vary.
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'.
What affects light with short wavelength more than light with long wavelength?
Scattering of light
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
What is the distance between one peak or crest of a wave light?
wavelength
HOW DOES wavelength define light?
It defines light because wavelength has a L in it's word, and so does light.
