    1. The way the sunlight hits the particles gives them more of an orange, red or pink color.

  2. How are lasers able to be used in medical procedures? I know they can be used in hair removal and eye surgeries. What characteristics do lasers have, that other forms of light may not, that allow them to be used in these types of procedures?

    1. That's a good question. I don't think I have the answer you're looking for but I think that laser light is a single, concentrated wavelength. This helps it to cut, burn, or remove something.

    1. Different laser wavelengths are needed to remove different types of tattoos. It depends on the color of the tattoo and how old/faded it is, and many more characteristics. Almost all tattoos are different. But the most commonly used wavelengths are 1064 nm, 532 nm, 694 nm, and 755 nm.
