What produces a intense light of a single color?

LASER


What does a laser produce?

A laser is a device to produce an intense monochromatic beam of coherent light.


What sends out a narrow intense beam of light?

Well... Most LEDs, Light Emitting Diodes, have a very narrow wavelength span, so they'd fit part of your question. However, they're not always that intense. So you're probably asking about a LASER.


What is an intense focused light of similar wavelengths?

A LASER is very intense. It only has one frequency of light. It can be spread out and focused using lenses.


What is photoepilation?

Epilation is removal of body hair. Photo is about light. So photoepilationis removing body hair through the use of intense light. Perhaps laser


Why do laser emit such intense light?

The beam from a LASER light is all the same frequency. It disperses slowly making it very powerful. Coherent light.


How is laser light different from incandescent light?

The intensity of light from most light sources is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. So the intensity two meters from an incandescent lamp is one quarter of the intensity at one meter, and at three meters from the lamp the intensity is one ninth of the intensity at one meter. Laser light ideally has the same intensity at any distance.


Why is a laser capable of burning things?

A laser is capable of burning things because of the way they work. A laser by definition generates an intense beam of monochromatic light. This monochromatic light is actually electromagnetic radiation which because of its intensity causes things to burn.


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.


What does laser therapy for spider veins involve?

The sharply focused beam of intense light emitted by the laser heats the blood vessel, causing the blood in it to coagulate and close the vein


Properties of laser?

Laser has certain unique properties, namely, mono-chromatic, coherence and directionality, compared to ordinary sources of light. The most important property of laser light is that it can be precisely collimated into a parallel beam.
