What else can I help you with?
What is the process of absorbing light and then remitting it in a different direction?
The process you are describing is called fluorescence. In this process, a substance absorbs light at one wavelength and then re-emits it at a longer wavelength in a different direction. This is a common phenomenon in various natural and synthetic materials.
What is a light having one wavelength called?
At a single wavelength, it is called monochromatic
What is it called when the speed and wavelength change when they go through into a different material?
When speed and wavelength change as light passes through a different material, it is called refraction. Refraction occurs due to the change in the speed of light when it moves from one medium to another, causing the light to bend and change direction.
Light waves of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is called what?
Light waves of a single wavelength is known as being coherent. This allows constructive interference which occurs when two or more waves are in phase i.e. their crests and troughs are aligned.
How is the wave length of a light wave be measured?
The wavelength of a light wave is typically measured using a device called a spectrophotometer or a spectrometer. These devices split the light into various wavelengths and measure them with detectors to determine the exact wavelength of the light wave. Wavelength can also be measured indirectly using the speed of light equation, where wavelength = speed of light / frequency.

What is a wavelength of light that can be seen called?
It is literally called visible light..

What part of the spectrum does the spectrum of distant light shift to?
It is called red-shift. It shifts to the longer-wavelength, shorter-frequency direction. For example, visible light shifts towards the infra-red area of the spectrum.
Which color of light changes directions the least?
The high energy narrow wavelength change direction the least. It will be the violet - blue colour light. The red light had the least energy, long wavelength would diffract the most.
What is the number of centimeters between waves of light?
The measure of a light's frequency is called wavelength.
In what direction does light turn when it refract?
that depends on the refractive index of the surface refracting the light beam. This is also affected by the light's wavelength and temperature of the media. Sage.
What is longer than visible wavelength called?
Infrared has a longer wavelength, and a lower frequency, than visible light.

Why laser is called coherent?
A laser is called coherent because it produces a beam of light in which all the photons have the same frequency and phase, meaning that they are in phase with each other. This results in a well-defined direction and a single wavelength, leading to a highly focused and uniform beam of light.
