Correct Answer: 5 years
Correct Answer: Gas, solid state, diode
Explanation:
The first laser was a solid state laser. Solid state refers to any solid material like a glass rod. Diode lasers are very common because they are used to read compact disks and digital video disks in computers, CD players, and DVD players. Before diode lasers, the most common type of laser may have been the helium-neon laser, in which the active medium is a combination of the two gasses helium and neon.

Correct Answer: stages
Correct Answer: the refractive index of the different layers of the earth's atmosphere changes continuously, consequently the position of the image of a start changes with time
Correct Answer: C. Rangarajan
Correct Answer: August 12, 1981
Explanation:
Before IBM created its personal computer, two types of computer systems, Apple II and CP-M, dominated the microcomputer world. Neither of these systems were PC compatible, or Mac-compatible (the two primary standards in place today). The original IBM PC became a new standard in the microcomputer industry. Since then, hundreds of millions of PC-compatible systems have been sold, as the original PC grew into a large family of computers and peripherals. More software has been written for this computer family than for any other system on the market.
