The path of a LASER beam is visible even when there is not many

Literally in the name
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

So that's a yes right ?

I hope so.

>>8582409
Basically yes. A laser beam is much more intense than natural sources, i.e. more photons per area.

Thank you :)

well it's actually oscillation which appears to amplify the light, but the actual photons aren't being amplified.

they didn't want to call them LOSERs though.

you can't see a laser in a vacuum, fuckwad. If you think air by itself doesn't

light, then you're retarded. If you're asking why an equal wattage laser seems brighter than a light, it's because it's all there in one smaller place.

>Hey, let's call him retarded! That'll teach him! And I will feel better for my undergrad knowledge! Even though people already answered the question! Yeah!

What does all in one palace even mean? Jesus learn to communicate your shit. Imagine einstein said spacetime is all in one smaller space maaan, and called you retarded. Cuck off.

Did you only read 3 words in my post?
The first line of my post is:

"The path of a LASER beam is visible even when there is not many contaminants in the air. "

You somehow rearranged it to make it look like I thought you can see a laser in a vacuum.

I was asking why laser beams are visible in clean air (not a vacuum) while the path of natural light is only seen when there is a high density of dust particles in the air or a high concentration of air.

The response I got, was that a laser creates a high density of photons (high photons per area) which means that even when there are LESS (not none) particles of air or in the air, the path is still visible because the amount of photons is greater.

I don't know how you could've misread my post that bad, as well as the whole thread.

To follow up on my previous post. >>8584817
I know that all light is scattered by air, but the path of the light is not visible which means there is not enough scattering going on for the brain to give a shit.

In a laser beam you can see a fucking line in the air, and I assume it's because there are more photons per area so they are much more likely to scatter on every single air particle and other particle in the air, and also do it much more frequently too.

Read this post twice please just in case you misread.

>you can't see a laser in a vacuum

You can if it's one of those bagless vacuums with the clear bin.
