An experiment is performed to find the refractive index of glass using a travelling microscope. In this experiment,distances are measured by

  • A
    a meter scale provided on the microscope
  • B
    a vernier scale provided on the microscope
  • C
    a screw gauge provided on the microscope
  • D
    a standard laboratory scale

The vernier calliper used for measurement has a positive zero error of $0.3 \ mm$. While taking measurement for the internal diameter of a vessel,it was observed that the zero of the vernier scale lies between $9.5 \ cm$ and $9.6 \ cm$ of the main scale and the $6^{th}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. If the least count of the vernier calliper is $0.01 \ cm$,the correct value of the diameter will be: (in $cm$)

$A$ vernier callipers has $20$ divisions on the vernier scale, which coincide with $19$ divisions on the main scale. The least count of the instrument is $0.1 \,mm$. One main scale division is equal to $...$ $mm$.

In a vernier callipers,$10$ divisions of vernier scale coincide with $9$ divisions of main scale,the least count of which is $0.1\,cm$. If in the measurement of inner diameter of a cylinder,the zero of the vernier scale lies between $1.3\,cm$ and $1.4\,cm$ of the main scale and the $2^{nd}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division,then the diameter will be .......... $cm$.

Which devices are used for the measurement of lengths of different orders?

When the gap is closed without placing any object in a screw gauge whose least count is $0.005 \ mm$,the $5^{th}$ division on its circular scale coincides with the reference line on the main scale. When a small sphere is placed,the reading on the main scale advances by $4$ divisions,whereas the circular scale reading advances by five times the corresponding reading when no object was placed. There are $200$ divisions on the circular scale. The radius of the sphere is .......... $mm$.
