as a spectral color.

When monochromatic radiation propagates through vacuum or a homogeneous transparent medium, it remains with a single constant frequency or wavelength; otherwise, it suffers refraction.

Practical monochromaticity

No radiation can be totally monochromatic, since that would require a wave of infinite duration as a consequence of the Fourier transform's localization property
