MCQ
Laser beams are used to measure long distance because
- AThey are monochromatic
- BThey are highly polarised
- CThey are coherent
- ✓They have high degree of parallelism
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
They have high degree of parallelism
d
(d)Laser beams are perfectly parallel. So that they are very narrow and can travel a long distance without spreading. This is the feature of laser while they are monochromatic and coherent these are characteristics only.
