Achromatic light refers to light that does not have a hue, typically because it consists of multiple wavelengths in a way that results in a perception of white or grey. Monochromatic light, consisting of a single wavelength, is often used in the context of discussing achromatic perception because it contrasts with polychromatic (having multiple wavelengths) light, which can have hue. However, the term "achromatic light" is more accurately associated with light that appears white or grey, such as a mix of wavelengths that do not stimulate the color-sensing cones in the eye to produce a color sensation. This explanation corrects the initial response, as "monochromatic light" actually refers to light of a single wavelength and is not the correct answer. The correct understanding is that achromatic light is perceived without color, typically as white, black, or shades of grey, which results from a mix of wavelengths or the absence of light, not from monochromatic light.
