Q: A spherometer has 200 equal divisions marked on the periphery of its disc . On giving five complete rotations , the central screw advances by 5 mm , Least count of spherometer is
(a) 0.001 cm
(b) 0.001 mm
(c) 0.0005 cm
(d) 0.0005 mm
Click to See Answer :
Ans: (c)
Sol: $ Pitch = \frac{5}{5}mm $
Pitch = 1 mm
$ Least \; count = \frac{Pitch}{200} = \frac{1}{200} mm $
L.C = 0.005 mm = 0.0005 cm
