Front (Question)

What does LASER stand for

Back (Answer)

Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

Front (Question)

what is a device that controls the way energized atoms release photons

Back (Answer)

Laser

Front (Question)

what are the 3 main properties of a laser that make if very different from other lights

Back (Answer)

monochromatic coherent directional

Front (Question)

what property of a laser is that it contains one specific wavelength of light (one specific color).

Back (Answer)

monochromatic

Front (Question)

the wavelength of light is determined by what?

Back (Answer)

the amount of energy released when the electron drops to a lower orbit

Front (Question)

what property of a laser describes how it is organized- thus each photon moves in step with the others, this means that all the photons have wave fronts that launch in univision

Back (Answer)

coherent

Front (Question)

which laser property is that a laser light has a very tight beam and is very strong and concentrated

Back (Answer)

directional a flashlight in contrast releases light in many directions, the light is very weak and diffuse

Front (Question)

Carbon dioxide laser properties (2)

Back (Answer)

invisible marked with a helium-neon aiming beam

Front (Question)

what is the Carbon dioxide laser used for

Back (Answer)

upper airway sx

#10

Front (Question)

is carbon dioxide laser common

Back (Answer)

yes, very common

#11

Front (Question)

Nd-YAG laser stand for what?

Back (Answer)

neodymium-yttrium aluminum-garnet laser

#12

Front (Question)

Nd-YAG laser properties (1)

Back (Answer)

short wave length allows transmission by fiberoptics

#13

Front (Question)

Nd-YAG laser is used for what sx’s

Back (Answer)

distal tracheobronchial tree and retina sx

#14

Front (Question)

KTP laser stand for what?

Back (Answer)

Potassium-titanylphosphate laser

#15

Front (Question)

KTP laser can be transmited by what?

Back (Answer)

fiberoptics

#16

Front (Question)

KTP laser is used in what sx’s

Back (Answer)

neurosurgical and otolarygeal

#17

Front (Question)

Argon Laser can be transmitted by what

Back (Answer)

fiberoptics

#18

Front (Question)

Argon laser is used in what sx’s

Back (Answer)

neurological, retinal, and otolaryngological

#19

Front (Question)

7 wavelengths in order of power (weakest to most powerful

Back (Answer)

radio microwave infrared visible ultraviolet x-ray gamma ray

#20

Front (Question)

with laser wavelengths longer wavelengths= what?

Back (Answer)

lower freq and lower energy all start with L

#21

Front (Question)

with laser wavelengths shorter wavelengths= what?

Back (Answer)

higher freq and higher energy for jake sHorter= Higher and Higher) :

#22

Front (Question)

frequancy is inversly proprtional to what??

Back (Answer)

wavelength the higher the frequency the smaller the wavelength

#23

Front (Question)

what has a higher freguency? KTP Wave length is 532 or Nd:YAG wave length 1064

Back (Answer)

KTP remember freq is inversly proportional to wave length the longer the wavelength the lower freq

#24

Front (Question)

which laser is for deep tissue? and why?

Back (Answer)

Nd-YAG b/c of near infrared I guess????
