Q. Lasers differ from other sources of light in such a way that the light emitted by laser is:

A
Pure
B
Coherent
C
Intense
D
Monochromatic
Solution:

Coherent. Different parts of the laser beam are related to each other in phase. These phase relationships are maintained over long enough time so that interference effects may be seen or recorded photographically. This coherence property is what makes holograms possible.

Monochromatic. Laser light consists of essentially one wavelength, having its origin in stimulated emission from one set of atomic energy levels.
