Hey /sci/, I've got this problem due for tomorrow, and while I'm not looking for an answer, I was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction for working it out.

Assume we want to measure R(λ) for a range of λ from λ=1.06e-4 to λ=1.06e-2, estimate the sensitivity of the instruments needed, assuming they are a meter long and wide.

I'm unfamiliar with working out the sensitivity of instruments, so any advice would be appreciated.

That we know of yet. Don't conclude that everything that seems unlikely is impossible. I'm sure that physicists from 1900 had no idea of quantum states and such.
