I think this is a newbie question but its a serious one, Say (HYPOTHETICALLY) you have a 1w laser, and you shoot it at your wall, will it hurt your eyes if you stare where the beam is hitting.
For example: your in a room, about 5-20 yards away from you, you shoot your 1w laser at the wall and you stare at the point where your laser is hitting, does this hurt your eyes if stared at for a prolong amount of time or no?
So do you have to wear safety goggles when using a 1w laser to point at a wall if so would you need to for a 50mW laser? (asume the 1w is a blue laser 50mW is a green laser)
I know if you stare directly into a beam your eye is fried.
Thanks for your time to view this question and thanks in advance for answers.
P.S. This entire question is HYPOTHETICAL.
