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.

Can you use an incandescent light bulb in a full spectrum lamp?
no
Light frequency from an incandescent lamp depends on what?
The peak Frequency
Is hydrogen light a monochromatic source?
NO. It produces four lines with wide difference in wavelengths. So it is not a monochromatic just as sodium vapour lamp
How is laser light different from incandescent light?
The intensity of light from most light sources is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. So the intensity two meters from an incandescent lamp is one quarter of the intensity at one meter, and at three meters from the lamp the intensity is one ninth of the intensity at one meter. Laser light ideally has the same intensity at any distance.
Why flourecent lamp are better source of light than incandescent lamp?
because fluorescent lamp consume least voltage than incondescent bulb.
Is sodium lamp a monochromatic lamp?
LPS is a monochromatic lamp and HPS is not.
What was the first name of the light bulb?
The Incandescent Lamp
What is another word for light bulb?
Incandescent lamp
What is another word for light like a light bulb?
incandescent lamp
What is incandescent light bulb?
An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light which produces light with a wire filament heated to a high temperature by an electric current passing through it, until it glows.
What is monochromatic in physics terms?
Mono means single Chrome means colour So monochromatic means single coloured light Example: Light coming from Sodium vapour lamp ---- Monochromatic means (light) of a single frequency or, what is the same thing, of the same wavelength.
What light sources emits only a continuous spectrum a. hydrogen gas b. mercury lamp c. sodium lamp d. incandescent lamp e. laser?
d. incandescent lamp

What part of the lamp converts electricity to light?
For a filament-type (incandescent) lamp, it's the filament.
Which is a better floor lamp - incandescent or fluorescent?
Incandescent floor lamps emit a lower ray of light, therefore you won't get as bright a light shine. A flourescnet light is much brighter. It really depends on where you will put the lamp.
