If \(50\) Vernier divisions are equal to \(49\) main scale divisions of a travelling microscope and one smallest reading of main scale is \(0.5 \mathrm{~mm}\), the Vernier constant of travelling microscope is _______.

  1. A \(0.1 \mathrm{~mm}\)
  2. B \(0.1 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  3. C \(0.01 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  4. D \(0.01 \mathrm{~mm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.01 \mathrm{~mm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(50 \mathrm{~V}+\mathrm{S}=49 \mathrm{~S}+\mathrm{S}\) \(\mathrm{S}=50(\mathrm{~S}-\mathrm{V})\) \(5=50(\mathrm{~S}-\mathrm{V})\) \(\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{V}=\frac{0.5}{50}=\frac{1}{100}=0.01 \mathrm{~mm}\)
