Laser is actually an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. The greater apparent power is related to the high degree of spatial and temporal coherence. The energy in the laser travels all in the same direction and with a unified frequency. Regular light travels in different directions - relatively unfocused and the photons are are not synchronized like they are in a laser. Since all the energy is arriving in a very small area and at the same time, the effective power is much greater than you get in a natural beam of light which is more diffuse and not synchronized.

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.


Is the green laser the most powerful laser color?

Power level is determined by the technical specifications of the laser itself, not the color. Green lasers are often perceived as brighter or more visible to the human eye compared to red or blue lasers due to the eye's sensitivity to that wavelength. However, the power of the laser is independent of its color.


What color laser has the most energy?

Green lasers typically have the highest energy compared to other colors like red or blue. Green lasers are efficient at converting electricity into light energy, making them popular in a variety of applications such as laser pointers and light shows.


What light has the higher energy red or green?

Green light has higher energy than red light. This is because green light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency compared to red light.


Does the color red have a lower frequency than the color green?

No, the color red has a longer wavelength and lower frequency than the color green. In the visible light spectrum, red light has a frequency of approximately 430–480 THz while green light has a frequency of approximately 530–580 THz.

Are German Sheperds stronger than red heelers?

German Shepherd's are a lot stronger than a red heeler.


Why do many laser pointers produce a red light?

Because the red ruby laser is the cheapest. Green lasers are usually more expensive. And the blue lasers found in blu-ray players are even more expensive.

How far can lasers reach?

do you mean how far does the light go? red lasers can reach up to 10ft (at least as far as I've seen). at 5mw green lasers can range from (3000ft - 5000ft and still see beam clearly). at 5mw


Is blue laser cheaper than red laser?

In general, red lasers tend to be more affordable than blue lasers due to differences in manufacturing costs and market demand. Blue laser diodes are more complex to produce and require higher precision, which can contribute to their higher price compared to red laser diodes.
