A spectrometer gives the following reading when used to measure the angle of a prism.
Main scale reading - 58.5 degree
Vernier scale reading - 09 divisions
Given that I division on main scale corresponds to 0.5 degree. Total divisions on the vernier scale is 30 and match with 29 divisions of the main scale. The angle of the prism from the above data is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
1 Vernier scale division 
Main scale division
The least count 
MSD- 1 VSD
So, reading = main scale reading + vernier scale reading
