The propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given magnitude is the sum of the uncertainties of each magnitude.
Δm = ∑
Physical quantities are precise values of a variable, but all measurements have an uncertainty, in the case of direct measurements the uncertainty is equal to the precision of the given instrument.
When you have derived variables, that is, when measurements are made with different instruments, each with a different uncertainty, the way to find the uncertainty or error is used the propagation errors to use the variation of each parameter, keeping the others constant and taking the worst of the cases, all the errors add up.
If m is the calculated quantity, x_i the measured values and Δx_i the uncertainty of each value, the total uncertainty is
Δm = ∑
| dm / dx_i | Dx_i
for instance:
If the magnitude is a average of two magnitudes measured each with a different error
m =
Δm = |
| Δx₁ + |
| Δx₂
= ½
= ½
Δm =
Δx₁ + ½ Δx₂
Δm = Δx₁ + Δx₂
In conclusion, using the propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given quantity is the sum of the uncertainties of each measured quantity.

Answer:
a) T = (m1cT1 + m2cT2 - m2Lf)/(m1c + m2c)
b) T = 295.37 K
Explanation:
Given;
Initial temperature of tea T1 = 31 C
Initial temperature of ice T2 = 0 C
Mass of tea m1 = 0.89 kg
Mass of ice m2 = 0.075kg
The heat capacity of both water and tea c = 4186 J/(kg⋅K)
the latent heat of fusion for water is Lf = 33.5 × 10^4 J/kg
And T = the final temperature of the mixture
Heat loss by tea = heat gained by ice
m1c∆T1 = m2c∆T2 + m2Lf
m1c(T1-T) = m2c(T-T2) + m2Lf
m1cT1 - m1cT = m2cT - m2cT2 + m2Lf
m1cT + m2cT = m1cT1 + m2cT2 - m2Lf
T(m1c + m2c) = m1cT1 + m2cT2 - m2Lf
T = (m1cT1 + m2cT2 - m2Lf)/(m1c + m2c)
Substituting the values;
T = (m1cT1 + m2cT2 - m2Lf)/(m1c + m2c)
T = (0.89×4186×31 + 0.075×4186×0 - 0.075×33.5 × 10^4)/(0.89×4186 + 0.075×4186)
T = 22.37 °C
T = 273 + 22.37 K
T = 295.37 K
Answer:
Incorrect statement is (b).
Explanation:
Option (a) : There is an inverse relation between the time and the frequency. The time taken depends on the frequency of the number of oscillations. Statement 1 is correct i.e. the time taken by any point of the wave to make one complete oscillation does not depend on the amplitude.
Option (b) : Speed of a wave is given by the product of its frequency and wavelength. It is not necessary that doubling the wavelength of the wave will halve its frequency as speed depends on the medium.
Option (c) : Doubling the amplitude has no effect on on the wavelength as amplitude does not depends on its wavelength.
Option (d) : Since, 
Speed is directly proportional to the frequency and wavelength. So, doubling the frequency of the wave will double its speed. So, the incorrect statement is (b).
Answer:
4
Explanation:
Refraction is the bending of light when it moves from one medium to another.
In the situation described:
- The average speed of light changes when it goes to another medium. The speed of light in water is less than in air.
- When velocity/speed changes, the index of refraction changes as well. Water's index is greater than in air.
- Since, speed changes, wavelength changes too.
- Only the frequency remains the same. The rates of vibration stays the same.
Correct choice is #4.
