White light is an example of:

The correct answer is polychromatic light.

Key Points

• White light is a combination of all visible colors in the electromagnetic spectrum.
• White light consists of 7 colors.
  • White light consists of seven component colors: violet (V), indigo (I), blue (B), green (G), yellow (Y), orange (O), and red (R).
  • In order from lowest to highest, the wavelengths of colored light are given by the acronym VIBGYOR (V < I < B < G < Y < O < R)
  • The wavelength range of visible light is 400 to 700 nm.

Important Points

• Electromagnetic Waves are generated due to the vibration between the electric field and the magnetic field and do not require any medium to travel. It can run in a vacuum.
• Light is a form of energy that is an example of an electromagnetic wave.
• Wavelength: The distance between two successive crests or troughs is called the wavelength of a wave.

Additional Information

• Plane polarised light is a type of light in which the electric field oscillates in a single plane.
• Monochromatic light is a type of light that consists of a single color or wavelength.

• Laser light is a type of light that is monochromatic, meaning it consists of a single color or wavelength
