What is spherometer uses?
spherometer is an instrument used to measure the curvature of a sphere
Why spherometer is so called?
The reason a spherometer is called a spherometer is because it measures the radius of a sphere.
Why spherometer is called spherometer?
The reason a spherometer is called a spherometer is because it measures the radius of a sphere.
What does curvature ratio mean in tubing?
Radius of curvature divided by tube diameter. To get the radius of curvature, imaging the bend in the tube is a segment of a circle, the radius of curvature is the radius of that circle.
How can you determine the curvature and Refractive Index of spectacle glass?
by using spherometer
If the focal lenght of a concave mirror is 15 cm find the radius of curvature?
The radius of curvature and the focal length mean the same so the radius of curvature is also 15 cm.
Why spherometer has 3 legs?
because to determine the radius of curvatureof a given spherica surface by spherometer
What is the difference between Radius of curvature and centre of curvature?
the center of curvature is the ORIGIN of the radius of curvature
What is the unit of measurement in spherometer?
A spherometer is an instrument for the precise measurement of the radius of a sphere. The spherometer directly measures a sagittal. Since the spherometer is essentially a type of micrometer, it measures very small things like millimeters.
What is the radius of curvature?
The radius of curvature of a circle, or an arc of a circle is the same as the radius of the circle.For a curve (other than a circle) the radius of curvature at a given point is obtained by finding a circular arc that best fits the curve around that point. The radius of that arc is the radius of curvature for the curve at that point.The radius of curvature for a straight line is infinite.
What is difference between curvature and radius of curvature?
Curvature is a general term to describe a graph. Like, concave or convex. Radius of curvature is more exact. If the curve in a 'small' section is allow to continue with the same curvature it would form a circle. that PRETEND circle would have an exact radius. That is the radius of curvature.
How do you find radius of curvature if focal length is given?
radius of curvature = 2Focal length
