### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Young's Double-Slit Experiment**: - Young's double-slit experiment demonstrates the wave nature of light through interference patterns created by light waves passing through two closely spaced slits. 2. **Definition of Monochromatic Light**: - Monochromatic light consists of a single wavelength (or color). This means that all the light waves have the same frequency and wavelength. ...
