An Optical Spectrometer. 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. The prism is in air
(n = 1.000).
Normal
Ꮎ
Red (660 nm)
Violet (410 nm)
(a) Relative to the prism base (i.e., the horizontal in the drawing), at what angle does red light (A-660.0 nm) emerge on the opposite
side?
(b) Relative to the prism base (i.e., the horizontal in the drawing), at what angle…
When is slicing and dicing a suitable OLAP tool? Give an example.
Calculate the unit quantities of normal and abnormal spoilage.

- A desired (standard) temperature is set by adjusting a lever or wheel on the thermostat. A mechanism such as a bimetallic strip or bellows converts the actual temperature surrounding the thermostat into physical movement. When the variance between desired and actual temperature exceeds some design maximum, sensor movement creates an electrical contact that communicates a signal to the correcting entity, in this case the control of a furnace or air conditioner, and the variance is automatically corrected. The output of a system can be measured and the variance between measured and desired output is used to adjust the system.
