Q85 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (29 Jan Shift 2) · Physics
In an experiment of measuring the refractive index of a glass slab using travelling microscope in physics lab, a student measures real thickness of the glass slab as and apparent thickness of the glass slab at . Travelling microscope has divisions in one on main scale and divisions on Vernier scale is equal to divisions on main scale. The estimated uncertainty in the measurement of refractive index of the slab is , where is ______
Correct answer: 41
Solution
Given:
So least count will be
As we know,
Applying log on both sides, we get
Differentiating both sides, we get
For calculation, all errors will be added, therefore
Hence,
Hence, the correct answer is 41.
