What describes IPL light?

  1. Polychromatic, scattered, and non-collimated

  2. Monochromatic and collimated

  3. Coherent and monochromatic

  4. Collimated and coherent

The correct answer is: Polychromatic, scattered, and non-collimated

IPL light is described as polychromatic because it contains a range of wavelengths, while the other options are either monochromatic (only one wavelength) or coherent (all waves in phase). It is also scattered, as it is not directed in a specific way, and non-collimated, meaning it does not have a single direction of travel.
