What is meant by masers?
A 'maser' is a 'laser' that amplifies and emits Microwave radiation instead of Light.
Scientific discoveries that led to technological advances?
The invention of the Maser, followed soon after by the Laser allowed a huge spread of technologies. From surveying, through to the check-out counter, the laser is ubiquitous today.From a similar era, the computer, and its operational languages affect most parts of today's activities.Both the Maser and Laser are themselves technologies, but they followed on theoretical speculation and research.
What is the difference between a LASER and a MASER?
MASER -Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.LASER - Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.With a LASER, we get uniform, coherent, monochromatic electromagnetic radiation of wave length in the visible and near visible range (1mm-10nm).MASERs use microwaves instead and the wavelength is longer (1mm to 1m).Since the energy of a photon can be calculated by Energy= h (Planks constant) x f (frequency) the energy in a MASER is less than that in a LASER all other things being the same.
What is a Five letter word ending in r?
Razor, Maser, Laser, Lover, Loner, Liver, Lager, Loser, Lader.
When were lasers created?
The idea of using visible light came around in the late '50's with the first patent attempt in 1958. The first working laser was made in 1960. It was based on an earlier invention called the MASER that used microwaves. The first thought about using infrared but then settled on visible light.Because it used visible light, the first patent used the term "optical MASER" instead of "LASER". The term LASER came from a paper in 1959 that spoke of the concept.LASER stands for: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. (for MASER, replace "light" with "microwave")
What is the birth name of Chase Maser?

When was Mike Maser born?
Mike Maser was born in 1947.
How tall is Chase Maser?

How did Charles hard townes make a difference?
Charles Hard Towns made a difference in the world for his invention of the Laser and Maser. Without these life would be very difficult.
