Monochromatic light is a type of light that contains only a single wavelength or color. This means that all the photons in this light have the same frequency and energy, resulting in a uniform color.
Monochromatic light can be produced in various ways, such as using a laser, a monochromator, or a diffraction grating. These methods allow for the isolation and amplification of a single wavelength of light.
Monochromatic light contains only one wavelength, while polychromatic light contains a range of wavelengths. This results in monochromatic light having a single color, whereas polychromatic light can have multiple colors or appear white.
When monochromatic light comes into contact with a surface, it can either be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed. The amount of each of these interactions depends on the surface's properties, such as its color and texture.
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence (the angle at which light hits a surface) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which light bounces off the surface). This is true for both monochromatic and polychromatic light.
