No. Light is light.

A:

It's the wavelength that photodiodes are sensitive too. Specs vary widely, so photo emmitters have to be matched with photodiodes, or they won't 'see the light' This comes in handy when using your IR remote on a fairly bright day. If your TV could see all light, it would be blinded.

Why photocells used in automatic street light?

Photocells are used in automatic street lights to detect ambient light levels. When it gets dark, the photocell detects the decrease in light and triggers the street light to turn on. This helps in energy conservation by ensuring that the street lights are only on when needed.


Cones are sensitive to what color light?

Red, green, and blue light. Rods are only sensitive to black and white.


Do laser beams only travel in one direction?

yes. laser beams are just like light.


How is only one colour produced by laserbeam?

A laser produces light of only one color because it emits a single wavelength of light. This is achieved by the specific properties of the laser medium and the optical resonator within the laser cavity that amplifies a specific wavelength. As a result, laser light is highly monochromatic, meaning it consists of a single color or wavelength.


Do rods see color, or are they only sensitive to light intensity?

Rods in the eye are sensitive to light intensity but do not see color. They are responsible for vision in low light conditions.


What is light source that has only one wavelength of light and will not spread out when passed through a prism is defined as?

A laser is a light source that has only one wavelength of light and will not spread out when passed through a prism. The light produced by a laser is coherent, meaning all the photons are in phase with one another.


How hot or cold does laser surgery get?

The word laser means light. This means that while having any type of laser eye surgery dose not increase or decrease in temperature. This is because only white light can increase its temp.


Which shoots out of a gun faster a bullet or a laser?

Since Laser is light and light is faster than anything we know of on earth the laser is faster, especially if it is a constant beam. Bullets can travel faster than sound, but still nowhere near the speed of light. Besides, despite what you see in Star Wars, there are not laser guns, only lasers.


Which type of receptor in the eye is sensitive only to light and dark?

i think its the retina


What light is only one color?

Monochromic light can be photons in a narrow energy range emitted by a laser. Sunlight looks uniform but it is actually composed of all of the wavelengths of visible light (except for a few that have been absorbed in the atmosphere).


Light of only one wavelength that travels with its crest and troughs aligned?

That's monochromatic, coherent light. A well known source of such light is a laser.


Can sunlight be used for a laser?

No. A laser is a bean of light that propagates in one direction with little spread and generate light only over a very small range of wavelengths. The rays of sunlight are parallel only because of our great distance from the sun. Sunlight can be focused to a point using mirrors or lenses, but will spread out beyond that point, rather than as a coherent beam light a laser. Additionally, sunlight consists of the entire spectrum of light.
