It is named after the type of prism used in the instrument. A constant deviation prism has the property that the angle between light entering the prism (the incident light) and light exiting the prism (the emergent light) is always the same, no matter what the angle of the incident light to the prism.

What is standardized variables?

A variable that has been transformed by multiplication of all scores by a constant and/or by the addition of a constant to all scores. Often these constants are selected so that the transformed scores have a mean of zero and a variance (and standard deviation) of 1.0.

What is a factor that cannot be changed during a experiment?

A constant factor is one maintained unchanged throughout an experiment so that it does not affect the outcome. These are also referred to as controlled variables.


What is the difference between value and variable?

A literal is a value that can be assigned to a constant or a variable. A constant is a named memory address in which only one value can be stored. The value must be assigned at compile time and cannot change at runtime. A variable is a named memory address in which any binary value can be stored. Variables can be initialised at compile time but can change value at runtime. Examples: int i = 42; // assign the literal value 42 to the variable i. const float pi = 3.14; // assign the literal value 3.14 to the constant pi. char c[] = "Hello world"; // assign the string literal to the character array c.


Which gas of the following will have the greatest deviation from ideal behavior H2 F2 Br2 and Cl2?

The two factor Van de Waals gave as correction for real molecules instead of the ideal gas, are the size of the molecule, and the amount of attraction between the molecules. The larger the size of the molecule for the greater the deviation from an ideal gas, clearly bromine wins here since it has the biggest size of its atom. The amount of attraction between molecules is directly proportional to the boiling point of the liquid made from those molecules, and again bromine wins here since its has the highest boiling point. So bromine has the greatest deviation from ideal gas behaviour.

Why you use mercury lamp instead of ordinary light or sodium lamp in constant deviation?

we use mercury lamp instead of ordinary lamp because ordinary lamp has many wavelengths when mercury lamp has single wavelength so in constant deviation we use only mercury lamp.


What is the standard deviation of 9?

You need more than one number to calculate a standard deviation, so 9 does not have a standard deviation.

Is the variance of a group of scores the same as the squared standard deviation?

The standard deviation is defined as the square root of the variance, so the variance is the same as the squared standard deviation.


What is a population standard deviation?

The true / real standard deviation ("the mean deviation from the mean so to say") which is present in the population (everyone / everything you want to describe when you draw conclusions)


What is the difference between absolute deviation and relative deviation?

absolute deviation is a difference between say two numbers. The result has the same units as the two numbers have. Relative deviation is a ratio and so it is a pure number without any units.


What is absolute mean deviation of first 50 digits of pi?

The mean deviation of any set of numbers is always zero and so the absolute mean deviation is also always zero.


Is variance the square root of standard deviation?

No, you have it backwards, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so the variance is the standard deviation squared. Usually you find the variance first, as it is the average sum of squares of the distribution, and then find the standard deviation by squaring it.


Where can i purchase a spectrometer online?

The best place to buy a spectrometer online is eBay.com. Since the item is not very large, the shipping will not be so much that it would offset the cost of buying locally. On eBay you have an international marketplace to search and buy from, so you can find the best deal.


Can average deviation be negative?

No, average deviation cannot be negative. Deviation is a representation of differences between numbers. A difference is always an absolute value, so the number cannot be negative (even though subtracting the deviation from an average may result in a a negative result).


How do you convert variance of 100 to standard deviation?

Standard Deviation = (principal value of) the square root of Variance. So SD = 10.


What is the Disadvantage of means deviation?

The disadvantage is that the mean deviation of a set of data is always zero and so does not provide any useful information.
