Answer
The percentage uncertainty in the value for ww is calculated using the formula for percentage uncertainty.
Solution
a
Identify the given value for fringe spacing ww: From the provided information, w=287mmw = 287 \, \text{mm}
b
Determine the uncertainty in the measurement of ww: Since the problem does not provide a specific uncertainty value, we assume a typical measurement uncertainty. For example, if the uncertainty is ±1mm\pm 1 \, \text{mm}, then the absolute uncertainty is 1mm1 \, \text{mm}
c
Calculate the percentage uncertainty: The formula for percentage uncertainty is given by: Percentage uncertainty=(Absolute uncertaintyMeasured value)×100 \text{Percentage uncertainty} = \left( \frac{\text{Absolute uncertainty}}{\text{Measured value}} \right) \times 100 Substitute the values: Percentage uncertainty=(1mm287mm)×1000.35% \text{Percentage uncertainty} = \left( \frac{1 \, \text{mm}}{287 \, \text{mm}} \right) \times 100 \approx 0.35\%
Key Concept
Percentage uncertainty calculation
Explanation
The percentage uncertainty is found by dividing the absolute uncertainty by the measured value and multiplying by 100.
