Update (100+ Verified A+)
what does the word LASER stand for? - Answers -✔✔ light amplification stimulated
emission of radiation
what are the four characteristics of a wave? - Answers -✔✔ wavelength, frequency,
velocity, amplitude
wavelength - Answers -✔✔ distance between 2 peaks of the wave measured in
nanometers
frequency - Answers -✔✔ number of wave cycles per second; measured in hertz
velocity - Answers -✔✔ speed of light
amplitude - Answers -✔✔ height of the wave
what is the common standard of measure used for a wavelength? - Answers -✔✔
nanometers
explain the correlation between the wavelength, energy, frequency, amplitude, and
penetration to the surface - Answers -✔✔ -shorter waves have more energy, higher
frequency, higher amplitudes, less penetration
-long waves have less energy, less frequency, less amplitudes, more penetration
what is the range for visible light? (nm) - Answers -✔✔ 400-780nm

, what are 3 unique characteristics of the laser light? - Answers -✔✔ 1) monochromatic
2) coherant
3) collimated
coherence - Answers -✔✔ wave patterns are locked in one phase (up and down
together)
collimation - Answers -✔✔ laser that creates a light beam that stays together as a tight
beam of light over long distance without diverging
monochromaticity - Answers -✔✔ -one wavelength/color,
-same wavelength number, color
