7 (g) Coherent and Incoherent Light

Lasers
When you turn on a flashlight, the light spreads out as it travels. Ordinary light is made up of different colors and wavelengths. Laser light is different from ordinary light. Laser light consists of light waves that all have the same wavelength, or color. The waves are coherent, or in step. All of the crests of the waves align with one another
