Discussion Objectives The objectives for part A of the experiment are to use the formula n=d sin() where “n” is an integer (representing the number of “jumps”). Further objectives for this section include the accurate and precise measurement of the aforementioned distances. These distances (that between the light arrangement and the wall as well as that between two dots (n=1)) are then used in the equation to find sin() (Sin(x)= opposite/hypotenuse). The final goal of this part is to be able…

Autism- what we know (and what we do not know yet). Chung and her team of expertise lecture the audience concerning this spectrum.

Today, it is estimated that 69.5 per…
