For λ = 5.0 X 10^5m calculate the (i) fractional uncertainty in d. (ii) percentage uncertainty in d^2 ?
1 Answer
See below:
Explanation:
For (i):
From my measurement by eye, it seems that the point where
So the fractional uncertainity is:
Uncertainties:
When two values are multiplied with uncertainties use the formula (Section 1.2 in the Physics Data booklet):
as
If
Then the uncertainties are:
hence:
