A LASER, or Light Amplification by Simulated Emission of Radiation, and is made by causing a particular substance to emit photons, almost all of which are one wavelength. A flashlight, however, uses a light bulb, which emits light due to the filaments, and will spread out. Both, however, are forms of light.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'the amount of light', or how you might plan to 'combine' several beams. When more flashlights shine on a surface, the intensity of illumination on the surface increases.
Neither. it is getting a flashlight wet. The beam of light from the flashlight will refract when exiting the tank (and refract several times if going through a glass wall of the tank). If the tank wall is smooth enough of a material with enough of a difference in optical density and the flashlight beam hits the wall at a small enough angle there will be total internal reflection.
A laser produces a Gaussian beam because of the diffraction effect of the laser beam passing through an aperture. The electric field distribution of the beam follows a Gaussian shape due to the wave nature of light. This results in a beam that has a bell-shaped intensity profile with a narrower central peak and gradually decreasing intensity towards the edges.
Neither. The beams of red light and green light will have the same number of Photons, as energy is only related to frequency. The number of Photons is dependent on the intensity of the light beams.
increase. As the beam area decreases, the same amount of energy will be concentrated into a smaller area, leading to a higher intensity of the beam.
Yes, it is generally legal to possess a flashlight that emits a high-intensity beam in public places, as long as it is not being used in a way that violates any laws or regulations.

Because the constant amount of light that the flashlight produces is spread out over a larger area when it's farther away, so the intensity at every point is less. Light decreases inversely to the square of the distance.
A ray of light from a flashlight is a narrow beam of light that travels in a straight line away from the flashlight's source. It illuminates objects in its path and creates shadows when blocked by an opaque object. The intensity of the light decreases with distance from the flashlight.
Another name for the beam of light from a flashlight is a "light beam" or "beam of light."
A flashlight beam typically forms a cone shape, with the light spreading outwards from the source in a circular pattern. The beam widens as it travels away from the flashlight, creating a conical shape of light.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'the amount of light', or how you might plan to 'combine' several beams. When more flashlights shine on a surface, the intensity of illumination on the surface increases.
The beam intensity formula is typically calculated as the power of the beam divided by the area of the beam. It is represented as I P/A, where I is the intensity, P is the power, and A is the area of the beam.
A beam of light.
A beam of light.
If the flashlight is turned on and direct beam to eyes, it is harm to eyes.
