Identify the physical quantity that cannot be measured using a spherometer:
Updated On: Nov 13, 2024
- Radius of curvature of concave surface
- Specific rotation of liquids
- Thickness of thin plates
- Radius of curvature of convex surface
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
A spherometer is an instrument used primarily to measure the curvature of spherical surfaces (both concave and convex) and the thickness of thin plates. It cannot measure properties of liquids, such as specific rotation, which is a measure of the optical activity of a substance in solution.
So, the correct answer is option 2.
