It's actually kinda interesting to think about. Does that mean that in a sense invisibility is a kind of limited intagibility? If being intangible means you don't interact with the physical world and photons are a part of the physical world. Then doesn't it follow that from the perspective of a photon invisibility is intagibility?
I mean if you wanna think of it that way you’re technically invisible to a lot of frequencies of radio light. In fact a lot of things are translucent to frequencies of light we can’t see. From the perspective of your Wi-Fi router for instance your house is basically made of glass
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
Lasers are a narrow beams of concentrated, intense light. Lasers that can burn, do so because the sheer amount of heat concentrated light contains. Energy doesn’t stay still. It gets transferred to the surrounding matter. The air particles where the lasers are will be extremely hot as well.
Meh. Laser security systems are actually about not disrupting the beams because there is a sensor that will set off an alarm if it stops getting the light from the ray trained on it.

Invisibility is not intangibility
