The device which produces highly coherent sources is
The device which produces highly coherent sources is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Laser
The atoms in the laser medium are pumped up energetically by an external power source, producing a population inversion of atomic energies. The pumped-up atoms can return to lower energy levels by emitting light at only certain frequencies, depending on the particular medium, which can be a solid (e.g. laser diode), a liquid (e.g. dye laser) or a gas (e.g. helium-neon laser).We get temporal coherence because the excited atoms emit only at that preferred frequency.
