1. What does the acronym LASER stand for?
- Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation ✅
2. What is the term for the distance, measured in nanometers, between two peaks or two troughs in a
wave?
- Wavelength ✅
3. What is light that consists of only one color and one specific wavelength referred to as?
- Monochromatic ✅
4. What is another term for refraction?
- Transmission ✅
5. What process describes how a newly created photon of light, generated through amplification, gains
energy equal to the original photons that created it?
- Stimulated Emission ✅
6. What term describes the states of equilibrium or the intermediate state of light?
- Metastable State ✅
7. Who first proposed the theory of stimulated emission?
- Albert Einstein ✅
8. What is the name of the part of the laser that houses the active medium?
- Resonator cavity ✅
,9. What are the different states of light involved in stimulated emission?
- Ground State, Excited State, Singlet State, Metastable State ✅
10. At what wavelength does the Alexandrite laser operate within the visible light spectrum?
- 755 nm ✅
11. The Nd:YAG laser operates in the invisible light spectrum at which wavelength?
- 1064 nm ✅
12. What type of wave is utilized in laser hair removal procedures?
- Pulsed wave ✅
13. What is another term for a chromophore?
- Target ✅
14. What does a chromophore absorb?
- Energy ✅
15. Which organization approves goggles worn by patients and practitioners for safety with Class 3B and
Class 4 lasers?
- ANSI (American National Standards Institute) ✅
16. Each laser wavelength is tailored specifically to what?
- Its machine ✅
17. What parameters must be considered when performing laser hair removal?
- Wavelength, Spot Size, Fluence, Pulse Width ✅
,18. Pulsed lasers allow for the selective heating of specific targets, a process known as?
- Selective Photothermolysis ✅
19. What does the term fluence refer to?
- The rate or amount of energy delivered within a given area ✅
20. What is the relationship between an increase in fluence and heat?
- An increase in fluence results in an increase in heat, leading to more damage ✅
21. What is defined as the length of time that light or energy is in contact with the target and measured
in milliseconds (ms)?
- Pulse Width / Pulse Duration ✅
