How is light amplified in a laser?
A. Photons "leak" through a partically reflecting mirror, causing them to travel in step.
B. Integrated circuits in a laser amplify the sound produced by photon emission.
C. Photons collide with gas particles, multiply, and reflect back and forth in a tube.
D. Electric current is amplified and directed into gas particles, which emit photons.

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Some of these photons are absorbed by the atoms in the ground state and the photons are lost to the laser process. However, some photons cause stimulated emission in excited-state atoms, releasing another coherent photon. In effect, this results in optical amplification
