Question 1
30 Jan 2023
30In an experiment for estimating the value of focal length of converging mirror, image of an object placed at from the pole of the mirror is formed at distance from the pole of the mirror. These distances are measured with a modified scale in which there are 20 small divisions in . The value of error in measurement of focal length of the mirror is . The value of isQuestion 2

91A 2-meter-long scale with least count of is used to measure the locations of objects on an optical bench. While measuring the focal length of a convex lens, the object pin and the convex lens are placed at mark and mark, respectively. The image of the object pin on the other side of lens coincides with image pin that is kept at mark. The % error in the estimation of focal length is:Tap an option to check your answer.
