Laser Hair Removal Exam Questions & Answers(GRADED A)
what does the word LASER stand for? -ANSWER_ light amplification stimulated emission of radiation
what are the four characteristics of a wave? -ANSWER_ wavelength, frequency, velocity, amplitude
wavelength -ANSWER_ distance between 2 peaks of the wave measured in nanometers
frequency -ANSWER_ number of wave cycles per second; measured in hertz
velocity -ANSWER_ speed of light
amplitude -ANSWER_ height of the wave
what is the common standard of measure used for a wavelength? -ANSWER_ nanometers
explain the correlation between the wavelength, energy, frequency, amplitude, and penetration to the surface -ANSWER_ -shorter waves have more energy, higher frequency, higher amplitudes, less penetration -long waves have less energy, less frequency, less amplitudes, more penetration
what is the range for visible light? (nm) -ANSWER_ 400-780nm
what are actinic rays? -ANSWER_ damaging rays that come from the sun
what wavelengths are considered to be actinic? -ANSWER_ 0-400nm
what wavelengths for IR light? -ANSWER_ 780-10,000
what is spontaneous emission? -ANSWER_ process of energy absorption by electrons and emitting spontaneously
what are the components of laser? -ANSWER_ active medium, excitation mechanism, feedback mirrors, laser output
what are 3 unique characteristics of the laser light? -ANSWER_ 1) monochromatic 2) coherant 3) collimated coherence -ANSWER_ wave patterns are locked in one phase (up and down together)
collimation -ANSWER_ laser that creates a light beam that stays together as a tight beam of light over long distance without diverging
monochromaticity -ANSWER_ -one wavelength/color, -same wavelength number, color
