Question

14.48)  Name three characteristic properties of a laser. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Characteristic properties of a laser: 

  • Coherence: Laser light are highly coherent because emission of photons in laser have same energy, frequency, or wavelength, which gives single wavelength.
  • Highly directional: Photons in laser travels in same direction; therefore, laser emits light in only one direction.
  • Monochromatic: The energy, frequency, or wavelength of emitted photons are same, which gives single wavelength or colour. Hence, laser light are monochromatic.
