What are the sources of error in refractive index experiment?

Answer 1

Common errors include; inaccurately measuring refracted and incident angles, incorrectly drawing refracted and incident rays, and incorrectly drawing the block. Impurities in the media can also cause errors.

Answer 2

The main source of error was simply the precision of measurements which were relatively negligible based on the results.

The travelling microscope used could not slide as far as the width of the glass block in the apparatus diagram. A glass microscope slide was used instead which is much thinner which allowed the travelling microscope to easily take measurements. It was also extremely uniform and gave very precise results.

Answer 3

Send me the schematic diagram and physical configuration of your experiment,

with the input and measured output voltages and waveforms, plus a description

and the performance specification of each electrical component in the experiment,

along with fifty cents in coin for handling, computer time, and report preparation,

and I'll bet I can spot them.

Answer 4

Average should be taken to minimize such sources of errors

Answer 5

The most common source or errors in the diffraction grating experiment is in taking the measurements. Having inaccurate instruments or estimating the measurements can cause errors.

Answer 6

1. Inaccurate measuring of the refracted and incident

Answer 7

1. Inaccurate measuring of the refracted and incident

Answer 8

Stoop at eye level to get an accurate reading.
