MCQ

A laser is a coherent source because it contains

A
Many wavelengths
B
Uncoordinated wave of a particular wavelength
C
Coordinated wave of many wavelengths
✓
Coordinated waves of a particular wavelength

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

Coordinated waves of a particular wavelength

d
(d) LASER is the short form of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

Laser beam is intense, monochromatic (that is of the single wavelength) collimated and highly coherent.
