Explanation:

Linear acceleration is a type of acceleration of a body along a straight path or line.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time.

Acceleration = $\frac{Change in velocity}{time}$

There are different types of acceleration .

linear acceleration is used to describe the rate of change of velocity of a body along a straight path with time.
centripetal acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of a body traveling along a circular path with time. It is directed towards the center.
Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity.

Grace [21]

If the separation between the openings in a laser is increased, then the distance between the interference fringes decreases

<h3>What is Interference fringe ?</h3>

Interference fringe refers to bands caused by different lights which can be found in phase or not each other.

Distances between laser fringes are short which is due to light wavelength.
The interference fringes can be estimated by knowing slit separation and wavelength.

In conclusion, if the separation between the openings in a laser is increased, then the distance between the interference fringe decreases

1)a persons ________ will change if they move from the earth to the moon

fgiga [73]

A person's weight will change if they move from the earth to the moon. This does not however, change the person's mass. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, and volume is how much space it takes up. On the moon, there is a lighter gravitational pull on said person, so they will not weigh as much if they stepped on a scale.
