It means "single color"; so basically, all the photons have the same frequency.
A monochromatic source is a source of light of a discrete wavelength. White light is a mixture photons with wavlengths from 390 to 750 nm (what the human eye can detect). The monochrmatic light will have a specific wavelength. For example all photons have wavelength 200 nm.
No, mercury lamps emit light of multiple wavelengths, not just one specific wavelength, making them non-monochromatic sources of light.
Ordinary light is not used for diffraction grating experiments because it is not monochromatic, meaning it consists of multiple colors (wavelengths). A monochromatic light source, such as a laser, is required for diffraction grating experiments to produce clear and precise interference patterns.
Monochromatic light is light composed of a single wavelength. One example of monochromatic light is the laser, which emits light of a very specific color or wavelength, making it highly monochromatic.
The source of light used in a diffraction grating is typically a monochromatic and collimated light source, such as a laser. This type of light source emits a single wavelength of light in a narrow, parallel beam which is important for producing sharp and distinct diffraction patterns.
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.

No, a sodium lamp is not a monochromatic lamp. It emits light in a narrow range of wavelengths, primarily the yellow-orange region of the spectrum, but it is not strictly monochromatic as it produces a broader spectrum of light compared to a true monochromatic source.

A polarimeter typically uses a monochromatic light source, such as a sodium lamp or a laser, to measure the rotation of polarized light.
That's monochromatic, coherent light. A well known source of such light is a laser.
The source of light used in a diffraction grating is typically a monochromatic and collimated light source, such as a laser. This type of light source emits a single wavelength of light in a narrow, parallel beam which is important for producing sharp and distinct diffraction patterns.
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'.
A polychromatic source is a light source that emits several colors or wavelengths of light simultaneously. It is different from a monochromatic source, which emits light of a single color or wavelength. Polychromatic sources are commonly used in applications such as photography, microscopy, and lighting design.
Monochromatic means that it has only frequency. Polarized is definition for light which has its electric and magnetic vectors oscillating in a certain way (linearly polarized, elliptically and so on) but it might have many frequencies included. In the same time monochromatic light can be polarized.
