What are three types of lasers?
Explanation:
The first laser was a solid state laser. Solid state refers to any solid material like a glass rod. Diode lasers are
very common because they are used to read compact disks and digital video disks in computers, CD players, and
DVD players. Before diode lasers, the most common type of laser may have been the helium-neon laser, in
which the active medium is a combination of the two gasses helium and neon.

Compact discs, (according to the original CD specifications) hold how many minutes of music?
A. 74 mins
B. 56 mins
C. 60 mins
D. 90 mins
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
According to many stories surrounding the origin of the compact disc, 74 minutes was settled on because it
would comfortably contain all of Beethoven's 9th symphony on one disc. Although some stories reference a
specific Sony higher-up who claimed this as his favorite piece of music, stories differ. All that's known for sure is
that Sony insisted on this and won out over Phillips' original 60 minute proposal.

Once the active medium is excited, the first photons of light are produced by which physical process?
A. Blackbody radiation
B. Spontaneous emission
C. Synchrotron radiation
D. Planck’s oscillation
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Spontaneous emission is what you see with most "glow in the dark" toys. You excite the toy by exposing it to
bright light, then the toy glows in the dark by spontaneously emitting photons as the excited atoms relax back
down to their normal state.

Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Explanation:
Electricity is voltage and current. Voltage is electrical pressure, and current is the flow of charged particles. The
difference between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) is that the electrons in an AC circuit
regularly reverse their direction. In a DC circuit electrons always flow in the same direction.
