उत्तर
As we know, 1 m = 1010 Å
Given, Wavelength of light = 5800 Å
Substituting the value of wavelength in the relation above, we get,
1010 Å = 1 m
1 Å = 10-10 m
∴ 5800 Å = 5800 × 10-10 m
∴ 5800 Å = 5.8 × 10-7 m
Hence, wavelength of 5800 Å in m = 5.8 × 10 -7m.

Name the part of the vernier callipers which is used to measure the following
Depth of a small bottle
A vernier callipers has its main scale graduated in mm and 10 divisions on its vernier scale are equal in length to 9 mm. When the two jaws are in contact, the zero of the vernier scale is ahead of the zero of the main scale and the 3rd division of the vernier
scale coincides with a main scale division.
Find : (i) The least count and
(ii) The zero error of the vernier callipers.
Define the term pitch.
State the correction if the positive error is 7 divisions when the least count is 0.01 cm.
State the correction if the negative error is 7 divisions when the least count is 0.01 cm.
