To stop a laser, you would need to block its path with a material that can absorb or reflect the laser beam, such as a metal sheet or a mirror. Additionally, turning off the power source of the laser would also stop it from emitting light.
Konica Minolta Magicolor 5440 DL Color Laser Printer would be very good for making brochures
not with today's technology. the light saber (as I understand the principles it "claims" to have...) is a laser - lasers are highly amplified light beams and would therefore travel until stopped (by an object such as a wall or mirror...). in order to use a laser in that manner, you would need a shaft or something to support a mirror (or something) and stop the light (laser) beam from simply continuing on until it strikes something (a very messy situation in a crowded "space" bar... )
Total Distance - 1000m / Speed of Light - 299,792,458m per second = 0.000003335 seconds
You would have to define "High quality". Gamo is a reputable maker of air guns. The laser sight sold under their name is suitable for air guns, and retails for about $39. Laser sights made for high powered handguns, such as the Crimson Trace laser grips for a .45 caliber pistol retail for about $390.
No, traditional laser pointers do not have enough power to pop balloons. You would need a significantly more powerful laser, such as a high-powered laser pointer or a laser built specifically for popping balloons. However, it's important to use caution and follow safety guidelines when using powerful lasers.
No, 5mW green lasers are generally not powerful enough to burn objects or cause damage. They are considered low-power lasers and are typically used for pointing, alignment, or in presentations. If you need a laser for burning, you would need a much more powerful laser, such as a high-powered handheld laser or a laser cutter.
Anyone currently looking for a cheap laser disk for making movies could easily purchase one on any computer advocating website. Best buy would most likely be the first place someone would attempt to search
Yes. The moon's high albedo is used as a mirror to reflect laser light from the Earth. They more accurately track the orbit and distance of the moon than previous methods. However, in order to have a reflected laser beam that the eye could see (like in a movie) the laser would have to be incredibly strong and have a large beam. No laser currently on Earth is capable of this. However, the moon's albedo is high enough that if such a significantly large laser existed it could reach the moon and be reflected back.
An electrode excites photons causing them to give off light. the light goes further back into the laser, there it is bounced off of a mirror to give it time to reach a high enough veloctity. When it gets to the other end fo the laser it hits a semi-silvered mirror which reflects half of the light back into the laser to repeat the process with other light from more photons. The rest of the light continues through the mirror and becomes the laser beam.
Following recent advances I would make a hot liquid or steam powered motor that runs a generator. The sunlight focused by a parabolic mirror(s) onto a point where your fluid circulates past. That steam can be used to heat the house even after it runs a motor.
A concave mirror would focus the light back towards the focal point of the mirror. You would not be able to use the mirror effectively with a concave.
