The energy of a system as a function of time $t$ is given as $E(t)=A^2 \exp(-\alpha t)$,where $\alpha=0.2 \ s^{-1}$. The measurement of $A$ has an error of $1.25 \%$. If the error in the measurement of time is $1.50 \%$,the percentage error in the value of $E(t)$ at $t=5 \ s$ is

  • A
    $1$
  • B

$A$ physical quantity $P$ is related to four observables $a, b, c$ and $d$ as $P = \frac{\sqrt{a b} \cdot d^\alpha}{\sqrt{c}}$ (where $\alpha$ is a constant). The percentage errors in $a, b, c$ and $d$ are $0.5 \%$ each. If the percentage error in $P$ is $2 \%$,then the value of $\alpha$ is:

The percentage errors in quantities $P, Q, R$ and $S$ are $0.5\%, 1\%, 3\%$ and $1.5\%$ respectively in the measurement of a physical quantity $A = \frac{P^3 Q^2}{\sqrt{R} S}$. The maximum percentage error in the value of $A$ will be ........... $\%$.

Using the expression $2 d \sin \theta = \lambda$,one calculates the values of $d$ by measuring the corresponding angles $\theta$ in the range $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$. The wavelength $\lambda$ is exactly known and the error in $\theta$ is constant for all values of $\theta$. As $\theta$ increases from $0^{\circ}$:
