The wavelength of light is 589 nm. what is its wavelength in Å?
Advertisements
Solution
Wavelength of light = 589 nm
1 angstrom = 0.1 nm
We have 589 nm
`589/0.1 = 5890` Angstroms
= 5890Å

A micrometre screw gauge having a positive zero error of 5 divisions is used to measure diameter of a wire, when reading on the main scale is 3rd division and the 48th circular scale division coincides with baseline. If the micrometer has 10 divisions to a centimetre on the main scale and 100 divisions on a circular scale, calculate
- Pitch of screw
- Least count of screw
- Observed diameter
- Corrected diameter.
