Information About

Monochrome




#Something which is monochromatic has a single Color . In Physics , the word is used more generally to refer to Electromagnetic Radiation of a single Wavelength .
#For an Image , the term monochrome is essentially the same as '' Black-and-white '', but ''monochrome'' may be preferred to indicate that combinations such as green-and-white, green-and-black, etc., are not excluded.
#In computing, monochrome has two meanings: it can mean having only one colour which is either on or off, or also allowing shades of that colour, although the latter is more correctly known as Greyscale . Thus it too has some ambiguity.
#A monochrome Computer Display is capable of displaying only a single color, often Green , Amber , Red or White , and often also shades of that colour.
#In the physical sense, no real source of electromagnetic radiation is purely monochromatic, since that would require a Wave of infinite duration. Even sources such as Laser s have some narrow range of wavelengths (known as the ''linewidth'' or Bandwidth of the source) within which they operate.
#'' Monochrome BBS '' is a Bulletin Board System .
