Identify the physical quantity that cannot be measured using spherometer :
Options
- ARadius of curvature of concave surface
- BSpecific rotation of liquids
- CThickness of thin plates
- DRadius of curvature of convex surface
Correct answer
B. Specific rotation of liquids
Step-by-step solution
A spherometer is a device used for measuring the curvature of surfaces, particularly the radius of curvature of spherical or cylindrical surfaces. It consists of a central leg with a fine screw, and three outer legs that form a tripod. The device is primarily designed for measuring dimensions related to curved surfaces.
Specific rotation is a property related to the rotation of plane-polarized light in a substance. It is not measured using a spherometer. Instead, a polarimeter is typically used to measure specific rotation.
