Lasers sort the energy in atoms and molecules, concentrate it, and release it in powerful waves.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lasers work by stimulating atoms or molecules to emit light at particular wavelengths and amplify that light, typically producing a very narrow beam of radiation. The process involves energizing the atoms or molecules (pumping them) to a higher energy state. When they return to a lower energy state, they release their energy in the form of light. This light is then concentrated and can be emitted as a powerful, coherent beam.
