A boy uses a vernier callipers to measure the thickness of his pencil. He measures it to be 1.4 mm. If the zero error of vernier callipers is +0.02 cm, what is the correct thickness of the pencil?

उत्तर
Thickness of the pencil (observed reading) = 1.4 mm
Zero error = + 0.02 cm = + 0.2 mm
Correct reading = Observed reading − Zero error (with sign)
= 1.4 mm − 0.2 mm
= 1.2 mm

What is meant by zero error of vernier callipers ? How is it determined? Draw neat diagrams to explain it. How is it taken in account to get the correct measurement?
A screw gauge has 50 divisions on its circular scale and its screw moves by 1 mm on turning it by two revolutions. When the flat end of the screw is in contact with the stud, the zero of the circular scale lies below the base line and 4th division of the circular scale is in line with the base line. Find
(i) The pitch,
(ii) The least count and
(iii) The zero error of the screw gauge
Why is the metre length in terms of the wavelength of light considered more accurate?
