- Suppose you're given a data set that classifies each sample unit into one of four categories: A, B, C, the data as A = 1, B=2, C = 3, and D=4. Are the data consisting of the classifications A, B, C, and D or quantitative? Are the data consisting of the classifications A, B, C, and D qualitiative or quantitative? OA. Qualitative, because they are measured on a naturally occuring numerical scale. B. Quantitative, because they are measured on a naturally occuring numerical scale. C.

You and your team are tasked with characterizing an equilateral, triangular prism to be used in an optical spectrometer. An optical spectrometer contains a dispersive element (in this case, the prism) that separates an incoming beam of light into its constituent wavelengths (or colors), and a photocell that measures the intensity of each color (wavelength) by measuring the intensity of the dispersed light as a function of angle. The index of refraction of the prism material you are using depends on the wavelength as n(A)=(1.111 x 104 nm¹) A (nm) + 1.609 An incident beam of white light impinges on the surface (see drawing) at an angle of 42.2 degrees below the normal.
