The end correction () is (= length of air column at first resonance and is length of air column at second resonance)


Important Questions on Experimental Physics
The end correction of a resonance tube is . If shortest resonating length is , the next resonating length will be


In an experiment to determine the specific heat of aluminium, piece of aluminium weighing is heated to . It is then quickly transferred into a copper calorimeter of mass containing of water at. The final temperature of the mixture is found to be . If specific heat of copper is , then the specific heat of aluminium is

The resistance in the left and right gaps of a balanced meter bridge are and . The balanced point is . If a resistance of is connected in parallel to , the balance point is . The value of is

In a meter bridge experiment, null point is obtained at from one end of the wire when resistance is balanced against another resistance . If , then the new position of the null point from the same end, if one decides to balance a resistance of against will be at

The distance moved by the screw of a screw gauge is in four rotations and there are divisions on its cap. When nothing is put between its jaws, division of circular scale coincides with reference line, and zero of linear scale is hidden from circular scale when two jaws touch each other or zero of circular scale is lying above the reference line. When plate is placed between the jaws, main scale reads divisions and circular scale reads divisions. Thickness of plate is
