Measurement of Length

In a screw gauge, the zero of main scale coincides with fifth division of circular scale in figure (i). The circular divisions of screw gauge are $50.$ It moves $0.5 \mathrm{mm}$ on main scale in one rotation. The diameter of the ball in figure (ii) is:

If $n^{th}$ division of main scale coincides with $(n+1{)}^{th}$ divisions of vernier scale. Given one main scale division is equal to $\text{'}a\text{'}$ units. Find the least count of the vernier.

Consider the Vernier caliper as shown, the instrument has no zero error. The length of the rod (in $\mathrm{mm}$) shown is $\alpha$, if $1 MSD=1 \mathrm{mm}$. Use $7 MSD=8 VSD$. Write the value of $2\alpha$.

The distance advanced by screw of a screw gauge is $2 \mathrm{m}\mathrm{m}$ in four rotation. Its cap is divided into $50$ division. There is no zero error. If the screw reads $3$ divisions on the main scale and $32$ divisions on the cap, then the diameter of the wire is (in $\mathrm{\mu m}$)-

One Angstrom is equal to:

 In Fermi-Dirac Statistics, one energy state can be occupied by more than one particle.

What is Basis in Parallax Method?

What is parallax explain the parallax method?

Which of the following is measured in Parsec

Assertion: Parallax method is used for measuring distances of nearby stars only.
Reason: With increase of distance of star, parallactic angle becomes too small to be measured accurately.

To measure the distance of a planet from the earth which method is used?
 

The moon subtends an angle of $57 \min$ at the base-line equal to the radius of the earth. What is the distance of the moon from the earth?
[radius of the earth$=6.4\times {10}^6 \mathrm{m}$]

The angular diameter of the sun is $1920"$. If the distance of the sun from the earth is $1.5\times {10}^{11} \mathrm{m}\text{,}$ then the linear diameter of the sun is
