    is used for reading data and ray for
    optical ray.
    The e in blue was purposefully left

    Working of Blu-ray
    Discs store digitally Disc
    encoded video

    and audio
    Information in pits , spiral grooves
    that run from
    the center of the disc
    to its edges .
    A laser reads the other side of
    these pits
    to play the movie or program
    that is
    stored on the disc.
    The more data that is contained on a
    disc, the
    smaller and more closely packed
    the pits must be.

    The smaller beam focuses more precisely,


    enabling it to read information recorded in pits
    that are not only 0.15 microns long this is more
    than twice as small as the pits on a DVD.
