To get a LASER to work you need to excite it with energy. The most workable form of energy to do that is electricity. There ae several ways of exciting LASERs to work.

In Brother Laser printers, are actual laser rays used for printing?

A beam of light is scanned across the printer's photoreceptor. The harmless light beam is what the word laser is referring to.


What are two examples of a parallel beam of light?

One example of a parallel beam of light is sunlight reaching the Earth's surface, as the rays from the Sun are nearly parallel due to the vast distance between the Sun and Earth. Another example is laser light, which is produced by stimulated emission and consists of highly coherent and parallel rays due to the nature of the laser's construction and operation.


How do you detect a laser beam?

You can see light rays with dust, flour, etc. If you turn on a flashlight, you can drop dust right where the light travels to actually see that beam of light. The same thing happens with red laser beams.


Why laser beam is narrow straightwhere as light from tube light is blury?

A laser beam is a coherent light source that emits a narrow beam of light due to the alignment of its waves. In contrast, light from a tube light is incoherent and emits light in all directions, resulting in a blurry appearance. The difference in coherence and directionality between laser light and tube light accounts for their distinct characteristics.


Difference between laser and torch light?

A laser produces a focused beam of coherent light with high intensity, directionality, and monochromaticity, making it suitable for precision applications like cutting, surgery, and communication. In contrast, a torch light produces a broader, less intense, and non-coherent beam of light, commonly used for general illumination purposes.


Does a laser give off uva and uvb rays?

No, lasers typically do not give off UVA or UVB rays. Lasers emit a concentrated beam of light at a specific wavelength, which can vary depending on the type of laser being used. UVA and UVB rays are typically emitted by the sun and some artificial sources like tanning beds.


What is A collection of rays of light called?

A collection of rays of light is called a beam or a ray bundle.


Which part of the body can be most damaged by a laser beam?

You haven't defined what you mean by "damaged" or "easily". According to the typical popular understanding, probably the retina of the eye.

Is Blu-ray Disk is optical disk?

Yes, a Blu-Ray device is an optical reader. CD's, DVD's, and Blu-Rays are called Optical Devices because the reader looks at the disks using light. The light is a laser. Just like a DVD, a Blu-Ray uses a laser beam to light up and read the information on the disk. This is like an old record needle running along a record groove and reading the information. However, the laser used by CD's, DVD's and Blu-Rays does not touch the disk. It just lights it up. The difference between DVD's and Blu-Rays is the colour of laser. DVD's use a red laser light, Blu-Rays use one that is blue. Different coloured laser beams read different sizes. Writing and reading on a DVD with a red laser beam is like using a crayon, a blue beam is like a sharp pencil. The Blu-Ray is an optical device, just like a DVD, but because it uses a "finer pencil" it can put more information onto the disk.


What are cathode rays also known as?

Electron beam or e-beam
