False. Most all HDD's read information using a needle, like a record player.
By using Laser distance measuring devices, work by sending out a laser beam of light and tracking how long it takes for the beam to return to the device. It uses this information to instantly calculate the distance from the laser measuring tool to the object you selected with the beam. Not only does it display distances instantly and accurately, it can track measurements.
A laser is the device itself, the beam is.. well, the beam coming out of the laser.
Both beams travel at the same speed.
How can yo u get laser beam?What is laser beam characteristics and principles?
laser
A laser-rang device works by using a laser beam to find horizontal fault movements. It can also use the laser beam to travel to a reflector and then back. Thus, the device can detect any change in distance to the reflector.
"Caution Laser Beam" is a phrase used on warning signs and labels to alert users and passersby that a laser beam may be present.
The laser beam is a highly monochromatic source of light. It consists of only one wavelength and hence does not get dispersed by using a glass prism.
optical fiber
A laser modulator is used to change modulate a beam of light (or laser). The easiest way that they modulate the laser, or light beam, is by changing the rate at which the laser is emitted from the source.
All lasers require electricity to operate. The laser beam that results from operation of a laser is electromagnetic radidation, not electricity.
Since a laser beam is light all moving on the same direction, the path of a laser beam will be a straight line, inless it is redirected by a reflective surface.
