How can we see a lazer beam?
If one shines into your eye (don't do this it is dangerous) then you would see it directly. However, a lazer beam going past you would be invisible UNLESS there was a substance in its path that could reflect parts of its light back to you (such as mist or dust).
How can one see a laser beam?
To see a laser beam, you can use special materials like smoke or fog to make the beam visible. The light from the laser reflects off these particles, allowing you to see the beam.
Why cant you see a laser beam as it crosses the room?
You can't see a laser beam crossing a room because the laser produces a narrow, focused beam of light that is not scattered easily. The light particles in the laser beam are not interacting with the air particles in the room, so there are no particles for the light to bounce off of and become visible to the human eye.
Why can't we see a laser beam?
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.
Why do you see the laser beam from powder?
When a laser beam hits a powder, it scatters the light in all directions due to the irregularities and rough surfaces of the powder particles. This scattering effect causes the laser beam to become visible as it interacts with the particles, making it appear as though the beam is "visible."

Why wouldn't we see a laser beam coming?
By definition, a laser travels at the speed of light. As soon as one sees it, it has already arrived via visual light.

Why can you see a light from a laser beam?
If you see the beam, you are seeing the scattered light being reflected off particles in the air. Any light you actually see is no longer laser light, assuming you have sense enough not to look at it directly.
How can you see the beam from a laser?
You can see the beam from a laser if there are particles or dust in the air that scatter the light, making the beam visible. Another way is to use special equipment like fog or smoke machines to make the beam more visible. Additionally, some lasers are designed with a visible light wavelength that is more easily seen by the human eye.
Why cant you see a laser beam if its in pure water?
You can't see a laser beam in pure water because the water is transparent, which allows the light to pass through without scattering. This means that the laser beam doesn't interact with the water molecules in a way that makes it visible to the human eye.
How far away would a beam of light have to be to be able to watch it travel?
This would not be possible for a couple of reasons. First let us set up the following scenario. We will shoot a laser from the Earth to the Moon which will take 1.2 seconds to arrive. You will be observing from 240,000 miles away in a spaceship that is at a right angle to the laser beam. This will make the Moon the same apparent size as it is on Earth. In theory, you should see a laser beam begin from Earth and quickly get longer and longer until it reaches the Moon in 1.2 seconds. The problem is that when we see a laser beam, we are not actually seeing the beam itself, only a small part of the beam reflecting off particles in the laser beam's path. Since space is a vacuum, there are no particles for the beam to reflect off, so we see nothing unless the laser beam is pointed directly at us, which in this case is not. The other problem is that when the laser light is reflected toward us from the particles, it is also scattered and would be much too faint to observe from that distance, even with a telescope.
Why can't I see my laser pointer beam anymore?
Dead battery OR very clean air.
Why can you see the beam of a laser if you spray water on it?
When you spray water on a laser beam, the water droplets act as tiny lenses that scatter and refract the light, making the beam visible. This effect is similar to seeing the beam in a foggy room, where suspended particles in the air create a visible path for the light to follow.
