If 50 Vernier divisions are equal to 49 main scale divisions of a traveling microscope and one smallest reading of main scale is 0.5 mm, the Vernier constant of traveling microscope is
- 0.01 mm
- 0.01 cm
- 0.1 mm
- 0.1 cm
Answer
(1) 0.01 mm
Solution
50 VSD=49 MSD 1 VSD= 4950 MSD
VC=1 MSD-1 VSD= 150 MSD
1 MSD=0.5 mm
VC= 0.550=0.01 mm
Answer: (1)
