Answer

Non-monochromatic

Work Step by Step

Monochromatic means light that has the single wavelength . $E=hc/$$\lambda$ Where $E$ is the energy , $h$ is Planck's constant , $c$ is the speed of light and $\lambda$ is the wavelength . If energy is not same or different then $\lambda$ is different because $hc$ is constant . And if the wavelength$($$\lambda$$)$ is different then it is non-monochromatic source.
