उत्तर
Number of threads = 20
Distance covered in 20 threads = 10 mm
Pitch of the screw gauge = `10/20` = 0.5 mm
No of divisions on circular scale = 50
`"Least count" = "pitch"/"no. of divisions"`
= 0.01 mm

The wavelength of light of a particular colour is 5800 Å.
Express it in nanometre.
Describe in steps, how would you use a vernier callipers to measure the length of a small rod?
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.
The thimble of a screw gauge has 50 divisions. The spindle advances 1 mm when the screw is turned through two revolutions.
(i) What is the pitch of the screw gauge?
(ii) What is the least count of the screw gauge?
State the formula for calculating length if:
The reading of the main scale is known and the number of vernier scale divisions coinciding with the main scale is known.
