The legs of a spherometer are 5 cm apart. There are 10 division cm -1 on linear scale and circular scale has 100 divisions. The height h of a convex mirror measured is 2 MSD + 37 circular scales divisions. Find radius of curvature of convex mirror.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Least count = 
cm
h = 2 × (0.1) + 37(10 -3 ) = 0.237 cm
R =
