Question 65 of 70

A spectrometer gives the following reading when used to measure the angle of a prism.
Main scale reading:
58.558.5 degree
Vernier scale reading :
0909 divisions
Given that
11 division on main scale corresponds to 0.50.5 degree. Total divisions on the vernier scale is 3030 and match with 2929 divisions of the main scale. The angle of the prism from the above data

Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) 58.65∘58.65^{\circ}

L.C=160\mathrm{L.C} =\frac{1}{60}
Total Reading
=585+960=58.65=585+\frac{9}{60}=58.65
