Monochromatic light means the light having:
Correct answer: D. All of above
- A. One colour
- B. Single frequency
- C. Single wavelength
- D. All of above
Explanation
Monochromatic in science means consisting of a single wavelength of light or other radiation (lasers, for example, usually produce monochromatic light), or having or appearing to have only one color (in comparison to polychromatic).When the velocity is constant, frequency and wavelength are the same.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
