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.
Mercury lamps are not strictly monochromatic sources. They emit light at multiple wavelengths across the visible spectrum and also in ultraviolet ranges. While they may emit some predominant wavelengths, they are not considered fully monochromatic like lasers.
Young's experiment aimed at observing interference of light waves. To observe clear interference patterns it is necessary to use monochromatic sources. Using monochromatic sources are coherent with constant phase difference so the interference pattern remains same on screen with passage of time. But using just any source will give a changing phase difference and a changing interference pattern which is difficult to observe.
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.
A monochromatic light source emits light of a single wavelength or color. This means it produces light of only one specific frequency, resulting in a pure color without any mixture of other wavelengths. Examples include laser beams and certain types of LEDs.
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.
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, mercury lamps emit light of multiple wavelengths, not just one specific wavelength, making them non-monochromatic sources of light.
No! Polychromic. IF it were then there would be no colors (or one color that you would see as white).
Mercury lamps are not strictly monochromatic sources. They emit light at multiple wavelengths across the visible spectrum and also in ultraviolet ranges. While they may emit some predominant wavelengths, they are not considered fully monochromatic like lasers.
I am monochromatic! =D
Monochromatic basically means colourless or black and white.
Hydrogen light is not completely monochromatic as it consists of multiple spectral lines. However, the most prominent and widely used line is the hydrogen-alpha line at a wavelength of approximately 656.3 nm, which is often used in astronomy and other scientific applications.
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.
I am wearing monochromatic today. I am wearing red, pink, and deep red. Add white and add a shade to create that monochromatic palette.
The do, while drinking his water, was very monochromatic during so.
A polarimeter typically uses a monochromatic light source, such as a sodium lamp or a laser, to measure the rotation of polarized light.
