monochromatic light

Monochromatic light consists of a single color and a specific wavelength or frequency. Unlike typical light, which is made up of many colors combined, monochromatic light has only one wavelength, resulting in a pure, consistent color. This type of light is produced by lasers or specialized filters. Its precise wavelength makes it useful in scientific, medical, and technological applications, such as in fiber optics, holography, and laser pointers. Because monochromatic light has no other colors mixed in, it can be used to study and manipulate materials with high accuracy.
