What is the full form of "MASER"?

A. Magnetic Amplitude Scalar Energy Resource

B. Magnification Ampere Solar Emitting Radiation

C. Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

D. Macro Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Ray

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

A maser (an acronym for microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) is a device that produces coherent electromagnetic waves through amplification by stimulated emission. The first maser was built by Charles H. Townes, James P. Gordon, and Herbert J. Zeiger at Columbia University in 1953. Townes, Nikolay Basov and Alexander Prokhorov were awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics for theoretical work leading to the maser. Masers are used as the timekeeping device in atomic clocks, and as extremely low-noise microwave amplifiers in radio telescopes and deep space spacecraft communication ground stations.
