In finding out refractive index of glass slab the following observations were made through travelling microscope \(50\) vernier scale division \(=\) \(49 \mathrm{MSD} ; 20\) divisions on main scale in each \(\mathrm{cm}\) For mark on paper \(\mathrm{MSR}=8.45 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{VC}=26\) For mark on paper seen through slab \(\mathrm{MSR}=7.12 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{VC}=41\) For powder particle on the top surface of the glass slab \(\mathrm{MSR}=4.05 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{VC}=1\) \((\mathrm{MSR}=\) Main Scale Reading, \(\mathrm{VC}=\) Vernier Coincidence) Refractive index of the glass slab is _______.

  1. A \(1.42\)
  2. B \(1.52\)
  3. C \(1.24\)
  4. D \(1.35\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.42\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(1 \mathrm{MSD}=\frac{1 \mathrm{~cm}}{20}=0.05 \mathrm{~cm}\) \(1 \mathrm{VSD}=\frac{49}{50} \mathrm{MSD}=\frac{49}{50} \times 0.05 \mathrm{~cm}=0.049 \mathrm{~cm}\) \(\mathrm{LC}=1 \mathrm{MSD}-1 \mathrm{VSD}=0.001 \mathrm{~cm}\)…
