Best Answer

It is coherent: all the same frequency, all in phase, does not disperse as fast (stays focused).

What makes up laser light and how is it used?

Laser light is different from ordinary light. Laser light consists of light waves that all have the same wavelength, or color. The waves are coherent, or in step. A laser is a device that produces a narrow beam of coherent light. The word laser comes from a phrase that describes how it works: light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Light amplification means that the light is strengthened. Stimulated emission means that the atoms emit light when exposed to electromagnetic radiation.


How lasers and ordinary light different?

a laser is just a focused beam of light


What dose laser stand for?

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation(LASER or laser)


Difference between laser and ordinary light?

Laser lights are spectrally pure, i.e. one wavelength, and they are coherent, i.e. all phota in phase. As a result, the beam of a laser light tends to stay as beam, and not diverge due to scattering.


Is laser a word or an acronym?

LASER means Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. it makes rays of radiation. :(


What is the difference between a laser and an ordinary light in terms of colors?

An ordinary light contains more than one colour. A laser is monochromatic.


What does abbreviation LASER stand for?

What kind of radiation does red laser pointers emit?

Red laser light.


Is ordinary light classify as ionizing radiation?

NO, because ordinary light is just giving simple emission of light. Ionizing radiation gives tremendous emission of light it causes cancer. Therefore, if ordinary light like fluorescent lamp which we always use is classified as ionizing radiation, we people have a cancer.....


Why focusing of laser light is better than ordinary light?

It can simulate more.
