The Laser is a beam of radiations which are

A. Non-coherent and monochromatic

B. Coherent and monochromatic

C. Non-coherent and non-monochromatic

D. Coherent and non-monochromatic

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Laser, an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, creates a radiation beam that is coherent (in-phase). In a coherent light source, the amplitude of the radiated waves is added and results in a radiation beam of great intensity. It normally produces only one or two wavelengths. The single wavelength is called monochromatic radiation.
