Question

Which statements correctly describe laser light? Check all that apply.

Laser light contains many wavelengths of light.
Laser light is stronger than ordinary light.
Laser light is all one color.
Laser light is weaker and more spread out than ordinary light.
Laser light is more focused than ordinary light.

Answer 1

Correct:
- Laser light is all one color.
- Laser light is more focused than ordinary light.

Why: Most lasers emit nearly a single wavelength (monochromatic → one color) and produce highly collimated, low-divergence beams (very focused). The other statements are misleading: lasers are not generally made of many wavelengths, and they are not inherently "weaker" than ordinary light (they can be much more intense in a small area, but that depends on the laser).
