| say if one laser was going up, and the other was going straight..and they intersect eachother....and both were a different colour, would they mix and make...what ever it would be if it were paint kinda thing... |

| Is this from the vantage point of an individual under the influence of chemicals? |

| yea, its called additive mixing er soemthing, they combine with more light equaling white, and with paint it is subtractive mixing....more colors equal black :P |

no they wouldn't in this situation. the only reason why you see the laser "beam" is because the light is dispersed by dust. the color would be mixed only at the point where two beams intersect, but it would be quite small.
there are, however, laser devices that mix colors. |

You would need about a 40mW green - 250mW red - and maybe 80mW blue laser.
Green is usually 532nm...our eyes see the wavelength 555nm the best. Green (532nm) is closest to 555nm so it appears brighter than any of the other 2 colors. Blue is 473nm, and red would most likley be 650nm.
If you were to aim them at a collimating device all in relativly the same spot, it would collimate the beams together creating a white laser beam. Or you can do it with some special prisms of which I have no clue what are called.
Without the prism or collimator, it would only mix colors at the points at which the beams intersect. |
