The graticule is a network of imaginary lines that form a coordinate system on the Earth's surface, consisting of latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run parallel to the equator, while longitude lines converge at the poles. This system allows for precise location identification and mapping. The graticule is essential for navigation, cartography, and understanding geographic relationships.

Does a graticule tick mark have anything to do with maps?

Yes, a graticule tick mark is typically used on maps to indicate specific points on a grid system, such as latitude and longitude lines. These tick marks help users accurately determine location and distance on a map.


What is it called where the Prime Merridian and Equator cross?

The latitude and longitude lines can cover the globe to form a grid, called a graticule. The point of origin of the graticule is (0,0), where the equator and the prime meridian intersect. Source: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/


How do you you measure the length and width of a paramecium into microns when the diameter of field of microscope is 40x?

To measure the length and width of a paramecium in microns using a 40x magnification microscope, you can use a calibrated eyepiece graticule or stage micrometer to determine the field of view in microns at that magnification. Then, you can measure the paramecium by counting the number of microns it spans across using the field of view as a reference. This will allow you to estimate the length and width of the paramecium in microns.


What map projection is an elliptical equal-area projection that distorts shapes near the edges?

Mollweide Projection is an elliptical equal-area projection, designed in 1805 by German mathematician Carl B Mollweide, represents the size of landforms quite accurately, but distorts shapes near the edges.


What is the point called when latitude and longitude lines touch?

There is no term for where "latitude and longitude meet" since they are not absolutely defined points or lines; instead, they are coordinates which must be used in tandem to define a point and can vary over any part of the earth's surface (or any object which is given a system of latitude and longitude).

How do you measure with a microscope?

The vernier adjustment is numbered. Go to the lowest point in the object you can focus on. Note your vernier setting. Adjust to the highest point you can focus on. Subtract the lower number from the higher and you get depth.

What is another word for graticule?

A "graticule" is a grid system, usually involving a system of vertical and horizontal lines or overlays. Among the uses for such a grid are : # The global coordinate system, which uses latitude and longitude to define geographic points. # Microscope slides, with measured marks to define the sample size # Reticles, or aiming devices, which allow adjustment for measurement or for targeting.

How is frequency of an electromagnetic wave measured?

The wave is amplified electronically and applied to either an oscilloscope ,where the trace is drawn on a calibrated graticule using a known timebase sweep, or it is applied to an electronic timer that counts the time for one complete cycle of the unknown wave and displays the result digitally as Hertz by means of a frequency meter.


How is frequency measured on an oscilloscope?

Frequency is, in general, measured on an oscilloscope by looking at the display and making a small calculation. By determining the number of "units" a cycle of an observed wave takes up on the screen and incorporating the sweep rate as set by the operator, you can find the frequency. To do this, look at the signal. Increase the vertical sensitivity to make the wave "take up most of the screen" without chopping any of its amplitude off. Center the signal vertically in the display. Then adjust the sweep rate to get more than one but less than two complete cycles of the wave on the display. Now count the number of "units" on the graticule from the "start" to the "end" of one complete cycle. Lastly, take the horizontal sweep rate from the dial and apply that to the number of units you counted on the graticule. The sweep rate will be in time per graticule unit. Multiply this by the number of units that you counted for a cycle. You'll calculate the total time per cycle from this information. What you will actually get is the period of the wave. It will be the time it takes for one complete cycle of the wave. The period of the wave is the time per cycle of the wave. With the period, you can simply invert it to find the frequency in cycles per second (Hertz). Seconds per cycle inverted is cycles per second.


Does an oscilloscope display both positive and negative voltage?

Yes. By convention, the horizontal line is deflected upward for positive voltages and down for negative. With no input, adjust the line to co-incide with a central line on the graticule. A varying voltage that remains positive will be deflected above the line. A voltage that transits from positive to negative will draw above and below the line.
