Schawlow’s Ruler Every color on the visible light spectrum has a distinct wavelength. These wavelengths can be measured by using the diffraction pattern of the light. In this experiment we used a HeNe laser and a green laser pointer with known wavelengths of 632.8x10-9m and 532.0x10-9m respectively. We aimed the lasers at a slight angle from horizontal onto a precision steel ruler with 0.5x10-3m and 1.0x10-3m rulings. When the laser is incident on the rulings, it reflects onto a surface

If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. In the broadest sense, the whole goal statement is a measure for the project; if the goal is accomplished, then there is success. However, there are usually several short-term or small measurements that can be built into the goal. Choose a goal with measurable progress, so you can see the change occur.

A selection process is not valid on its own, but rather, relative to a specific purpose. For example, a test that effectively predicts the work quality of strawberry pickers may be useless
