is always a great word to know.
So is laser. Does it mean:
| the analogous motion of the particles of a mass of air or the like, whose state of equilibrium has been disturbed, as in transmitting sound |
| a device that produces a nearly parallel, monochromatic, coherent beam of light by exciting atoms to a higher energy level and causing them to radiate |
