Differences between relative refractive index and absoulate refractive index?
Refractive Index(i) Refractive index of a medium is that characteristic which decides speed of light in it.(ii) It is a scalar, unit less and dimensionless quantity.(iii) Absolute refractive index :When light travels from vacuum to any transparent medium then refractive index of medium w.r.t. vacuum is called it's absolute refractive index i.e. vacuumµmedium = c/vAbsolute refractive indices for glass, water and diamond are respectively µg = 3/2 = 1.5, µw = 4/3 = 1.33 and µD = 12/5 = 2.4(iv) Relative refractive index :When light travels from medium (1) to medium (2) then refractive index of medium (2) w.r.t. medium (1) is called it's relative refractive index i.e. 1µ2 = µ2/µ1 = v1/v2 (where v1 and v2 are the speed of light in medium 1 and 2 respectively).(v) When we say refractive index we mean absolute refractive index.(vi) The minimum value of absolute refractive index is 1. For air it is very near to 1. ( 1.003)
Mass of a sample measured 9.67gwhat is the percent error if the correct mass is 9.82g?
percentage error= experimental value-accepted value/ accepted value x 100 (percentage error is negative only if the accepted value is larger than the experimental value) percentage error= 9.67-9.82/9.82 x 100 percentage error= -1.6
The capacity of a bottle is measured as 1.25 liters correct to the nearest 10 milliliters What is the percentage error for this measurement?
Simple 10mL/1.25L x 100% = 0.8%
Why do you calculate percent error?
To determine the Percent value, you must have two variables: True value, the Recorded or Measured value, and it is represented by the following equation:(Recorded/Measured value - True value) / True value *100%e.g (20.000 - 21.571) / 21.751*100% = -7.223%
What does it mean when two measured quantities are different but not significantly different?
That means two results are "the same" unless their difference is greater than the estimated error. This is important to remember.
What are diopters?
Refractive error is measured in units called diopters
What is the most common refractive error of human eye?
myopia
What is the medical term meaning any error in which images do not focus properly on the retina?
The medical term for this condition is "refractive error." Refractive errors occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing directly on the retina, leading to blurred vision. Some common types of refractive errors include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
If contact prescription is 4.75 what is your vision?
There is no consistent, direct one-to-one correlation between refractive error (like a prescription of -4.75 for example) and the level of visual acuity. People with the same refractive error may perform differently on vision testing just as people with the same visual acuity may have different refractive errors.
What is percentage error?
Given a true value and the measured value,the error is measured value - true value;the relative error is (measured value - true value)/true value, andthe percentage error is 100*relative error.
What is the medical term meaning astigmatism?
Ametropia means any type of refractive error, such as nearsightedness or astigmatism.
What does your value of relative error mean?
The relative error measurements indicates the quality of a measurement relative to the quantity of the object being measured. To derive the relative error, divide the absolute error by the value of the object being measured.
Is antimetropia a refractive disorder?
Antimetropia is a definition of the type of refractive error you (or someone) may have. It means that one eye is hyperopic (farsighted) and the other myopic (near sighted).
If the absolute error is 50 and the mean value of measured quantity is 5 what is the relative error?
= absolute error/ mean value of measured quantity times 100 50/5 times 100= 1000%
The error in measured length due to sag of chain or tap is known as?
Sagging or hogging error
Definition of guarantee error in instrumentation?
Deviation of the measured value from the true value of the variable being measured
Who cannot receive LASIK surgery?
patients with higher degrees of refractive error will still need some type of corrective lens.
