Best Answer

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.

What are Laser safety procedures?

Laser Safety procedures are often specific to a particular laser installation. In general, however, the following apply:don't look directly at the laser beamknow where the laser beam path isenclose the beam path as much as possibleensure that warning signs and labels are properly placednever point a laser beam at a personuse appropriate protective eye wear if exposure to a Class 3B or class 4 beam is possiblewear protective clothing is exposure to a Class 4 beam is possiblenever stare into a Class 2 laser beamensure that laser users receive adequate laser safety training

Why laser produces Gaussian beam?

A laser produces a Gaussian beam because of the diffraction effect of the laser beam passing through an aperture. The electric field distribution of the beam follows a Gaussian shape due to the wave nature of light. This results in a beam that has a bell-shaped intensity profile with a narrower central peak and gradually decreasing intensity towards the edges.

What is a laser modulator used for?

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.


Laser beam needs electricity or not?

All lasers require electricity to operate. The laser beam that results from operation of a laser is electromagnetic radidation, not electricity.


How far away would a beam of light have to be to be able to watch it travel?

This would not be possible for a couple of reasons. First let us set up the following scenario. We will shoot a laser from the Earth to the Moon which will take 1.2 seconds to arrive. You will be observing from 240,000 miles away in a spaceship that is at a right angle to the laser beam. This will make the Moon the same apparent size as it is on Earth. In theory, you should see a laser beam begin from Earth and quickly get longer and longer until it reaches the Moon in 1.2 seconds. The problem is that when we see a laser beam, we are not actually seeing the beam itself, only a small part of the beam reflecting off particles in the laser beam's path. Since space is a vacuum, there are no particles for the beam to reflect off, so we see nothing unless the laser beam is pointed directly at us, which in this case is not. The other problem is that when the laser light is reflected toward us from the particles, it is also scattered and would be much too faint to observe from that distance, even with a telescope.
