Laser vs. Light: Know the Difference
By Shumaila Saeed || Updated on December 25, 2023
Laser is a focused beam of light, coherent and monochromatic; Light is electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye, diverse in wavelengths.
Key Differences
Laser produces a narrow, focused beam of light, highly directional and coherent. Light, in general, refers to the broad spectrum of electromagnetic radiation visible to humans.

Laser light is monochromatic, meaning it consists of one color or wavelength. General light can encompass a range of colors and wavelengths across the visible spectrum.

Lasers are used for precise tasks due to their focused and intense nature. In contrast, light is used for general illumination and can be diffused or direct.

The creation of a laser involves stimulating electrons to emit photons uniformly. Light is naturally emitted by luminous objects like the sun and light bulbs.

Lasers can be used in communication, medicine, and technology for their precision. Light serves a fundamental role in daily life, from vision to ecosystem functioning.

Laser
Any of several devices that emit highly amplified and coherent radiation of one or more discrete wavelengths. One of the most common lasers makes use of atoms in a metastable energy state, which, as they decay to a lower energy level, stimulate others to decay, resulting in a cascade of emitted radiation.

Laser
A device which produces an intense, usually narrow, monochromatic beam of coherent light; called also optical maser. It has various forms, and is used in various applications in science and technology. The beam is produced by boosting the majority of the electrons in specific radiation-absorbing atoms in a medium into a higher energy level, from which they are stimulated by their own emitted radiation to drop back synchronously to their lower energy level, and emit light which is in phase (coherent).
