Why the emitted photon has exactly the same energy,phase and direction as the incident photon in stimulated emission?
the emission is triggered by an incident photon. assumes emission photon has equal energy. Now when electrons fall back to low energy EM wave emitted if we relate this emission due to electron ...

I just don't understand one thing, if photons carry energy, shouldn't
the electron be forced to higher excited states?
This typically does not happen because the photon usually considered when ...
