Question:

Consider the following statements regarding a beam of LASER:

(I) It is highly monochromatic
(II) It is an electromagnetic radiation from a source
(III) It travels with the speed of light

Which of the statements given above are correct?

Options:

Both I and II

Both II and III

Both I and III

I, II and III

Correct Answer:

I, II and III

Explanation:

The three characteristics of laser are:

  1. Superior Monochromatism: Laser lights are single wavelength light.
  2. Superior Directivity: Laser beam is emitted in a specific direction.
  3. Superior Coherence: Laser lights have the same phase difference.
  4. Collimation: All rays are parallel to each other and do not diverge significantly even over long distances.
