How are lasers an example of this?

Sorry if it is a bit confusing but my teacher taught us how atoms emit alpha/beta/gamma radiation in order to become stable. In the next lesson he taught us how atoms undergo fission or fusion to become stable. I was just wondering what makes atoms fission/fusion to become stable rather than...

Hi all, the title is probably a bit confusing but I was wondering. What determines the type of light emitted when electrons move down electron shells and emit energy? Why isn't all the light emitted the same colour?

Why does fission/fusion occur instead of alpha/beta/gamma radiation?
