The modern science of spaceflight and rockets rest on Newton’s Three Laws of Motion, a set of ideas and equations developed in the 1600s. In particular, the Third Law, which relates the action and reaction of forces, is essential to explain how a rocket accelerates. To make a rocket move forward, its engines point rearward. The action of the engine thrust produces a reaction on the rocket, accelerating it.
Correct Option: A

Laser, an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, creates a radiation beam that is coherent (in-phase). In a coherent light source, the amplitude of the radiated waves is added and results in a radiation beam of great intensity. It normally produces only one or two wavelengths. The single wavelength is called monochromatic radiation.
Correct Option: B

Ohm’s law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points. It defines the relationship between the three fundamental electrical quantities: current, voltage, and resistance.
