**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Terms:** - **Reduce:** This term refers to minimizing the amount of resources we consume. It involves using less of a material or commodity to decrease waste and conserve natural resources. - **Recycle:** Recycling is the process of collecting used materials and sending them back to manufacturers to be transformed into new products. This helps in reducing the need for raw materials and lowers environmental impact. - **Reuse:** Reusing means using an item multiple times instead of discarding it after a single use. This practice conserves resources and reduces waste. 2. **Identifying Materials for Each Category:** ...

Two small angled transparent prisms (each or refracting angle A = 1^(@)) are so placed that their bases coincide, so that common base is BC. This device is called Fresnel's biprism and is used to obtain coherent sources of a point source S illuminated by monochromatic light of wavelength 6000 Å placed at a distance a = 20 cm. Calculate the separation between coherent sources. If a screen is placed at a distance b = 80 cm. from the device, what ist the finge which of fringes obtained (Refractive index of material of each prism = 1.5.)
