Question 1 Report

(a) What is a geostationary satellite? 

 (b) Name two types of Lasers.

Answer Details
(a) A geostationary satellite is an artificial satellite that orbits the Earth at the same rate as the Earth's rotation. This means that it stays fixed at a particular point in the sky over the Earth's equator. From the ground, it appears as though the satellite is stationary. (b) Two types of lasers are solid-state lasers and gas lasers. Solid-state lasers use a solid material as the active medium, while gas lasers use a gas or a mixture of gases as the active medium. Solid-state lasers are commonly used in industry, medicine, and research, while gas lasers are used for applications such as cutting, welding, and laser printers.
