White light is an example of which of the following?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. polychromatic light.

White light is an example of polychromatic light. Unlike monochromatic light, which consists of a single wavelength, polychromatic light is composed of multiple wavelengths across the visible spectrum. White light, such as sunlight, includes all colors of the visible spectrum and can be separated into its constituent colors using a prism. This dispersion of colors occurs because each wavelength is refracted differently, creating the spectrum of colors typically seen in a rainbow.
