White light consisting of wavelengths ranging from 400nm to 700 nm is incident upon a diffraction grating having 600 lines/mm. The first order spectrum extends over a range of angles on a screen. Next, the grating is removed and replaced with one having 900 lines/mm. Which of the following statements is correct about the range of angles comprising the first order spectrum?

Two glass panes each 1.0 cm thick are separated by a thin layer of oil with a thickness of 1.0 cm. The index of refraction of the oil is 1.5. Light with a wavelength of 530 nm in a vacuum travels from point A to point B in 0.14 ns. What is the index of refraction for the glass?

Abortion is a controversial topic. Most people in the US believe abortion should be legal at least under some conditions, but 20% of Americans believe it should be illegal under all circumstances. Suppose we survey a simple random sample of 100 American adults and compute the proportion in the sample who believe abortion should be illegal under all circumstances. Could we use the Z table to find probabilities about the sample proportion of successes? [useZ] Find the probability that p-hat is greater than 0.25. [compute-prob]
