Laser show

The laser show depicts an atomic bomb explosion. Its subject relates to the military use of uranium discussed during the visit. The staging combines lighting effects with sound. It is a multimedia representation of an explosion, not a nuclear experiment. The presentation changes here. Instead of examining rocks and tools, visitors watch a show that uses modern technology to portray a historical subject.

A laser generates light through stimulated emission: interaction with excited matter causes further photons with matching properties to be emitted. Light itself is a form of electromagnetic radiation. That does not make a visible beam the same phenomenon as the radiation emitted by uranium ore. The laser provides the optical effect and sound completes the staging; the physical conditions of a real explosion are not reproduced.
