Monochromatic Radiation


Monochromatic radiation is radiation characterized by a single x-ray or neutron wavelength (e.g., "1.54 Å"). Many synchrotron x-ray sources and neutron diffractometers produce monochromatic radiation.

In contrast, traditional laboratory x-ray tubes usually produce dual-wavelength radiation. The two wavelengths correspond to K-alpha1 and K-alpha2 x-ray emission peaks from the target material.
