CD’s RUse infrared light RStores data in the form of tiny pits in a spiral around the disk. A power laser reads the data and that is how it plays the cd.

CD’s continued… RCD players emit light at 780 nm RThe shorter the wavelength the more information that can be stored. RCD players emit light at 780 nm RThe shorter the wavelength the more information that can be stored. http://www.raysisterpublishing.com/music/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/cd-rom.jpg

DVD RWavelength between 635 and 650 nm RUse visible (red) light. RThe shorter wavelength lets the laser read smaller pits (more data). RWavelength between 635 and 650 nm RUse visible (red) light.

Laser Printers RUses a narrow beam of light to illuminate a line on a photoconductors surface, only illuminated are will conduct electricity RIlluminates drums to make details RCan produce extreme detail at the speed of light.
