The sensitivity of a measuring instrument is the value of the smallest quantity that can be read or estimated with it. What is t

he smallest part of a centimeter that can be read with the following?
(a) a meterstick with markings at each millimeter.

(b) a digital caliper with a four-digit display

I've got an answer for (a) which was 0.05cm, and tried the following for (b) but none was correct:

0.0001cm, 0.01mm, 0.002mm

Answer:

The smallest part of a millimeter that can be read with a digital caliper with a four digit display is 0.02mm. Thus, it has to be converted to centimetre. So, divide by 10, we then have 0.02/10= *0.002cm* not mm.

The energy of a photon was found to be 3.38 x 10-19 J. Planck's constant is 6.63 x 10-34 J. S. Which color of light corresponds
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of a photon is, E=3.38\times 10^{-19}\ J

We need to tell the color of this light. We know that, the energy of a photon is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

Where

c is the speed of light

\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{3.38 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\\lambda=5.88\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=588\ nm

The wavelength of yellow light is approx 580 nm. Hence, we can say that this photon corresponds to yellow light.
