it's monochromatic(all exactly the same wavelength) and every photon is in phase with all of the others(so, unlike ordinary light, all of the waves travel with the same wave shape) and it's a parallel beam, so the light doesn't diverge

this means a 25 watt laser can cut through steel while an 80 watt light bulb can't

it also means a 25 milliwatt laser leaves a brighter spot of light than an 80 watt light bulb(you can see the laser in the normal light)

it also enables you to make a hologram

it allows for lasersurgery

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

That's one of the properties necessary to consider a source of light as a laser source.The light rays in a laser are manipulated so as to make them coherent.


What is special about laser light that makes it so useful compared to ordinary light from a light bulb?

Laser is non diverging one and monochromatic. It is coherent and hence highly intense. So laser could be sent even to reach moon's surface and get it back reflected. So distance of astronomical objects could be found.

Why laser moves in narrow parallel beam of light?

Because a laser is just concentrated light, so it is thin from being concentrated.


What are some uses for a laser mirror?

Laser mirrors are special mirrors used to direct laser beams. The mirrors are specially designed for the type and wavelength of the laser being used to keep the amount of light absorbed by the mirror to a minimum.


Is a laser light a type of light?

Yes. Laser light is special in that all the waves of electromagnetic energy are temporally and spacially coherent i.e. the waves are in step (or in phase) with each other and travel in a thin beam which does not diverge over distance.

Can a laser be made from a light bulb?

No. Laser light is coherent. Light bulb light is not.
