Laser Balloon

The video explores the effects of laser light on balloons of different colors. It begins by explaining the power of a laser compared to sunlight. Experiments are conducted with red, blue, and white balloons to demonstrate how color affects the balloon's reaction to laser light. The red balloon reflects the laser, the blue balloon absorbs it and pops, while the white balloon remains unaffected due to its reflective properties. An additional experiment tests popping an inside balloon without affecting the outside one. Safety precautions with lasers are also highlighted.
