Because laser light is highly coherent: all one wavelength with all the peaks aligned (all waves completely in phase). Ordinary light is not coherent.

Can lasers reflect and refract like any light?

YesLASER stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, which means that it is light that is amplified.Since it is still light it can reflect and retract, although I'm not sure if it can be broken up into the spectrum like normal light.

Are there any lasers that can cut through metal?

Yes, there are lasers specifically designed to cut through metal. Fiber lasers and CO2 lasers are commonly used in metal cutting applications due to their high power and precision. These lasers are capable of cutting through various types of metals with different thicknesses.

What are examples of coherent sources?

Examples of coherent sources include lasers, superluminescent diodes, and optical fibers. These sources produce light waves that are in phase with each other, leading to interference patterns and constructive interference.


What are Gas Lasers?

Gas lasers are a type of laser that uses a gas mixture as the laser medium to produce coherent light. The gas mixture is typically excited by an electrical discharge or other means to generate the laser beam. Gas lasers are used in various applications such as cutting, marking, welding, and scientific research.


Is light from a yellow laser safer than red or green lasers?

All three colors of laser light (yellow, red, and green) can potentially cause eye injury if exposure is at a high enough power. The safety of a laser depends on the power output and duration of exposure rather than the color. It is important to follow safety guidelines and use appropriate protective eyewear when working with any laser.
