Solved: Lasers are classified according to the eye-damage danger they pose. Class 2

Chapter 29, Problem 48

(choose chapter or problem)

Lasers are classified according to the eye-damage danger they pose. Class 2 lasers, including many laser pointers, produce visible light with no greater than 1 mW total power.
