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.

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.
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.
Do light microscopes use monochromatic light?
No, normal white light.
What is a statement that is not true about a white light?
White light is monochromatic light.
What is the name given to the light of a single wavelength?
monochromatic light
Why you use monochromatic light in spectrophotometer?
ffreaking
What is monochromatic coherent light?
a.k.a. "laser"
Is sun light a monochromatic light?
No. White light is a mixture of different colors.
Is white light monochromatic light?
No exactly the contrary, white light is made up of light of all the colours of the rainbow. And you need to take that literally. The rainbow has these colours because rain acts as a prism and breaks the white light of the sun apart in the colours it is made up of. Because monochromatic means 'of one and the same colour', white light is not monochromatic. LASER light is always monochromatic: all particles have exactly the same wavelength (colour)
