    The document summarizes an experiment conducted by three students - Sher Baz, Irfan Ali, and Sidra Batool - to learn how to use a spherometer. They measured the thickness and radius of curvature of a lens. They calculated the pitch, circular scale divisions, and least count of the spherometer. They then used formulas to calculate the thickness (3.54 mm), radius of curvature using two different formulas (both 2.78 mm), and concluded they learned to measure thickness and curvature of small objects using a spherometer.

     Introduction

    In this experiment we are going to aware about how to use


    spherometer and know about the components of spherometer. Also
    we are able that how to calculate the lengths of different small
    objects by using spherometer. Usually we determine the radius of
    curvature of various glasses and lenses i.e concave or convex. We can
    also calculate the thickness of various objects by using
    spherometer.also able how to R bay equilateral triangle.

     Calculated Data
    Pitch of spherometer 1 mm
    Circular scale divisions 100
    Least count of spherometer 0.01 mm
    Reading 1 4.5 mm
    Reading 2 0.0 mm
    No of rotations 3.50
     Diagrams

    S= 5mm s= 4.5

    r =2.74mm

    A s= 4.5 C
     Data Analysis
    Pitch of spherometer = distance cover on main scale/ no
    of rotations
    = 5mm/5
    Pitch =1mm
    Circular scale divisions = 100 Divisions
    Least Count of Spherometer = pitch/total divisions
    = 1mm/100
    = 0.01 mm
    For Thickness
    Reading 1 = 4 mm
    Reading 2 = 0.0
    X = difference b/w reading 1 and reading 2
    = 4 - 0
    = 4 mm
    Number of rotation = n = 3.50
    As we know that
    Thickness = h = (n * pitch) +( x * l.c )

    h = (3.50 * 1) +( 4 * 0.01)
    h =3.50 + 0.04
    h = 3.54 mm
    In our experiment the curvature and thickness of lens are
    approximately equal so .
    h = 3.45 mm
    As we know that the radius of curvature can calculate by
    the given formula.
    R = r2 + h2 / 2h
    Also we know that r can be calculated through this
    formula.
    r = s /√3
    As the average value of s = 5 + 4.5 + 4.5/ 3
    s = 14 /3
    s = 4.67 mm

    r = 4.67 /√3
    = 2.74 mm

    So R = r2 + h2 / 2h
    R = (2.74)2 + ( 3.45)2 / 2*3.45
    R = 7.3 mm + 11.9 / 6.9
    R = 19.2 / 6.9
    R = 2.78 mm

    Similarly R can also be calculated through this formula.


    R = s2 / 6h + h/2
    R = (4.67)2 / 6*3.45 + 3.45/2
    R = 21.80 / 20 .7 + 1.72
    = 1.05 + 1.73
    = 2. 78 mm
    So the calculated values of R in both formulas are same....
     Discussion
    In this experiment we calculated the radius of
    curvature bay using formula of equilateral triangle and
    compare the calculated values of R .our calculated
    values of R are same. Due to small halve shape the
    thickness and curvature of glass is approximately same
    in our experiment.

     Conclusion
    After performing this experiment we concluded that we can
    measure the thicknesses and curvatures of various small
    objects i.e glasses, lenses etc...... And also we can calculate the
    radius of curvature.

     Contribution
    All members participated equally to perform this experiment
    and effort for making this lab report……
