Question

A spectrometer gives the following reading when used to measure the angle of a prism. Main scale reading: $58.5$ degree Vernier scale reading : $09$ divisions Given that $1$ division on main scale corresponds to $0.5$ degree. Total divisions on the vernier scale is $30$ and match with $29$ divisions of the main scale. The angle of the prism from the above data

Options:

Answer:

C

Solution:

$L.C = \frac{1}{60}$ Total Reading $= 585 + \frac{9}{60} = 58.65$

TestHub · Accepted Answer

L.C = 60 1 ​ Total Reading = 585 + 60 9 ​ = 58.65
