yes
No. There are laser pointers that are available to the public, but they are not weapons. Laser guns as you see in science fiction do not exist.
To view physical appearance by own-self.answer #2grocery store scanners use mirrors to direct the lasers, many other laser applications use mirrors to move and direct the beams. Many industrial processes use mirrors and lasers to direct light and laser beams. You use mirrors to drive safely. Warehouses use mirrors on the corners to prevent collisions. Many camera have mirrors in them. We use mirrors for many different applications.
The interaction of light beams with a surface is called regular reflection when the light beams reflect off all points of the surface at the same angle. When the light beams hit the surface and reflect off in different angles it is called diffuse reflection.
Being that this was placed in the science experiments category, I will base my answer on the belief that you are asking about real-world technology. "Laser technology", while not new to the world is definitely not a hand held-item. In large industrial factories, it maybe used for various purposes. Certain experiments have been done prior and currently with rail gun technology which is NOT the same. Rail guns fire a projectile accelerated by electric-charged magnets spanning the barrel. This is an effective technology on larger weapons but is not proficient in handheld weapons to my knowledge. Likewise laser technology, even in beams, is not practical and no where near hand held... so although the thought of laser weaponry is good, it would be ineffective. The laser technology of current emits a laser that takes time to wear through its target, not instant penetration like Star Wars. Your only practical option left in this case is a conventional projectile firearm (a.k.a. bullet guns).
Each one is called ray and group of them is called beam.
Yes, laser beams have one specific wavelength determined by the type of laser used. They also travel in one direction due to the tight focusing of light into a beam through the process of stimulated emission.
True, laser beams have one specific wavelength and typically travel in one direction due to the collimated nature of the light. This makes them ideal for applications like cutting, engraving, and communication.
yes. laser beams are just like light.
Different laser beams exhibit varying colors, such as blue and red, based on the principle of wavelength because the color of light is determined by its wavelength. Shorter wavelengths, like those of blue light, appear blue to our eyes, while longer wavelengths, like those of red light, appear red. Laser beams produce light of specific wavelengths, which is why they can appear as different colors.
That is called coherent light. It consists of waves with the same frequency and phase relationship, resulting in interference patterns and laser beams.
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.
No, laser beams do not have an electric charge. Laser beams are composed of photons, which are neutral particles with no charge.
Laser devices emit focused beams of coherent light called laser rays. These rays are monochromatic, meaning they consist of a single color or wavelength. These properties make laser rays useful in a variety of applications, including surgery, communication, and materials processing.
no they do not
Yes, red laser beams will reflect off glass, but the amount of reflection will depend on the angle of incidence, the quality of the glass, and the wavelength of the laser. Glass can absorb some of the light energy, so not all of the beam may be reflected.
Laser beams are typically invisible to the human eye because they emit light in a very focused and narrow wavelength, often in the infrared spectrum. The lack of scattering and diffraction in laser light prevent it from being visible unless it interacts with particles or surfaces in its path.
False. In a vacuum, both red laser beams and microwaves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second. Both types of waves travel at the same speed because they are both electromagnetic waves.
