Consider the following statement regarding laser. |
1. A laser consists of a gain medium, a mechanism to supply energy to it. |
2. The gain medium is a material with properties that do not allow it to amplify light by stimulated emission. |
3. Most practical laser contain additional elements that affect properties of the emitted light such as the polarisation, the wavelength and the shape of the beam. |
4. Laser has not the properties, namely, high monochromaticity, coherence and directionality. |
Which of the statements given above are correct? |
A) 1 and 4
B) 2 and 3
C) 1, 2 and 3
D) 1 and 3
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
[d] Statement 1 is correct, a laser consists of a gain medium supply energy to it. Statement 2 is incorrect, the gain medium is a material with properties that allow it to amplify light by stimulated emission. Statement 3 is correct with the aspect of laser. Statement 4 is incorrect, laser has the properties like, high monochromaticity, coherence and directionality.You need to login to perform this action.
