Answer

given,

wavelength of laser light = 632.8 nm

assuming that aperture of lens be equal to dia = 1 mm

now,

When laser light passes through aperture diffraction of light takes place

The first diffraction minima occurs at

        a sin (p) =\lambda

where a is the width of aperture

λ is the wavelength of light

p is the angle

        sin (p) =\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

        sin (p) =\dfrac{632.8\times 10^{-9}}{1 \times 10^{-3}}

        p =sin^{-1}(0.0006328)

               p = 0.0363° angle of the first dark ring

There are many theories as to why ice ages occur. The currently accepted theory is that ice ages are caused by _____.
Harman [31]

Earlier in the text this question is provided for, you should be able to find the passage, "The currently accepted theory attributes ice ages to small changes in Earth's orbit, known as Milankovitch cycles. These cycles describe how Earth's orbit gradually changes shape from more circular to more elliptical and back again. This happens roughly every 100,000 years. The orbital changes take Earth nearer and further from the Sun, which would affect the amount of energy reaching Earth."

Answer: Small changes in Earth's orbit

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Hey Krista: Burning is a type of chemical change using fire and heat that produces new substances "Buming"* things like wood or bread changes their color and odor

This is the best discription because it describes what things can burn and what happens to them.

*i don't know what "buming" means but i think you mean burning, lol.
