Using the expression& 2dsinθ=λ2dsin\theta = \lambda, one calculates the values of dd by measuring the corresponding angle~\theta\text{\theta} in the range 00~to& 90°90 °. The wavelength λ\lambda~is exactly known and the error in& θ\theta is constant for all the values of~θ\theta. As \theta\text{\theta}~increases from 0°0 °,

Options

  1. Athe absolute error in dd remains constant.
  2. Bthe absolute error in ddincreases.
  3. Cthe fractional error in dd remains constant.
  4. Dthe fractional error in dd decreases.

Correct answer

D. the fractional error in dd decreases.
