Since you]re guessing I'll just address a few points:
3) regular glass absorbs strongly in the UV - we have to use quartz.
5) A - haven't you seen glass prisms make "rainbows"?
(violet light is *slow* in glass *because* glass absorbs UV!)
6) I would go with A for this, since they don't say what color light it is in!
7) TV screens - like computer monitors - don't emit yellow light, they're RGB!
8) Which 2 colors of RGB light would need to be reflected to make "cyan" light?
11) Re-read the IF part - does the red or the blue get removed first?
18) ever hear of index-of-refraction? The marching-band entering a plowed field?
17) Yea, Nature does whatever it D*M* well wants, there's just no pattern to it -
no wonder nobody can understand it, so nobody can manipulate or control it -
that's why we're still stuck in the stone age for the last 3 million years ... .
Looks like you got NOTHING out of this class - is that less than you put into it?

Thanks for the hints, don't quite understand #17 though...
Actually, I didn't even start the class yet, this is the summer assignment :P

Ai-yi-yi! Eighteen questions in a single thread is a surefire recipe for mass confusion if people actually started discussing all of them at once.

My suggestion is to post one problem per thread, and don't have too many threads active at once so it doesn't look like you're hogging the board. Give the thread a title that says something about what the problem is about, so people who feel like experts in that area will be attracted to it. If you have any ideas on what the answer might be, tell us, and explain your thinking. Then people can figure out any conceptual problems you might be having. If you don't have any idea, just ask for hints that might steer you in the right direction. It doesn't do any good for you in the long run, for us to just give you the answers.
