Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

A laser assembly reads the spinning disc, converting lands and pits into sequences of electric signals. When the beam hits a land, it is reflected onto a photodiode, which produces an electric signal. Laser beams are scattered by pits, so no signal is generated.
