Question
Chapter 1.10, Problem 1A
Summary Introduction
To identify:
The feldspar crystals and quartz crystals from the ones marked as A, B, C, and D.
Introduction:
The feldspar minerals tend to occur in igneous rocks. The crystals of feldspar appear to be elongated and rectangular. On the contrary, the crystals of quartz occur as either irregular or in the form of rounded grains. The crystals also have a glassy appearance.

- 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.
