⚠️ Common Exam Traps & Conceptual Pitfalls

Students often assume that because a laser emits a beam, all photons travel in the same direction. In reality, photons inside the laser medium can be emitted in various directions; only their wavelength, energy, and speed are identical. Focus on coherence, not direction.

In a laser tube, all the photons

Multiple Choice Options

  • A have same wavelength
  • B have same energy
  • C move in same direction
  • D move with same speed

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

**Answer:** (a), (b), (d). **Step-by-Step Explanation:** In a laser, all photons have the same wavelength, energy, and speed (in the medium). They may not all move in the same direction.
