Lasers can travel far distances because they are highly directional and can maintain their focus over long ranges. Additionally, lasers do not disperse as much as other forms of light, allowing them to stay concentrated over a long distance. This makes them useful for a variety of applications such as communication, ranging, and cutting.

Why sound do not travel in a vacuum?

Sound cannot travel in a vacuum (empty space) because there is no medium through which soundwaves can travel upon. This is why if you were to scream in space no sound would be made (well except maybe in your mind! ha!) well anyways, that is also why the Star Wars movies, and some other sci-fi movies that have laser fights in space are innaccurate because no sound would be made from the lasers (also because there is no gravity in empty space the vehicles would move much differently...but that is a whole new concept!) Anyways, so sound needs a medium to travel and so far, no medium has been found.... THAT IS LEFT TO BE DISCOVERED!!!! YEAH!!!!


What is the impact of the laser?

The impact of lasers can vary depending on their application. In medicine, they are used for surgery and therapy. In industry, lasers are used for cutting and welding. In research, lasers are used for imaging and spectroscopy. Overall, lasers have revolutionized many fields with their precision and versatility.

Is it possible to time trave?

Theoretically, time travel may be possible according to some interpretations of physics, such as wormholes or time dilation. However, as of now, there is no experimental evidence or practical method to achieve time travel.


What Happens To Sound In Vacuum?

Sound cannot travel through a vaccum due to the fact that sound travels using vibrations and there is nothing to vibrate in a vaccum. for example on earth there is air for sound to travel through but in a vaccum there is no air. And in all those battle scenes in star wars where you hear lasers firing through space and spaceships flying past you shouldn't be able to hear them :)

Where is the BAD hideout on spy island?

It is to the far right of the island past Toupee Terrace. It is guarded by lasers, so it will be the last stage of beating the island. You must first rescue the three missing spies (in order), the third one giving you the Ultra Vision Goggles to see the lasers.
