Glass lasers are formed from

Correct answer: C. Ar and He

  • A. Ne and Ar
  • B. He and Ne
  • C. Ar and He
  • D. Any of the noble gas can be used

Explanation

Glass lasers are formed from a combination of argon (Ar) and helium (He) gases. In a glass laser, the active medium consists of a mixture of Ar and He gases enclosed in a glass tube. When an electrical discharge is passed through this mixture, it excites the atoms of Ar and He, leading to the emission of laser light.

About s-Block and p-Block Elements

The s and p blocks are studied through their valence-shell configurations, periodic trends and characteristic chemical properties. Work covers the reactions of Group I and Group II elements, the behaviour of Group IV elements, and how atomic size, ionization energy, electronegativity and metallic character change across periods and down groups.
