Find their Range/2 & their precision, compare & choose the larger value:
Range/2=(15.1-14.2)/2              Precision=0.1
           =0.45
Therefore, %uncertainty= 0.5 (to 1 decimal place)  ;D

look for the above question it should be D as they want to know the potential difference at which the diode will conduct and the arrangement is set so that the diode wont conduct electricity but when we apply a large p.d it will conduct

This is what you have to do.

1. Find the mean
2. Then find the difference between the mean and the highest value
3. \frac{Difference between two values}{mean}*100

here's a question i need help solving:
A student observes the diffraction of white light by holding a diffraction grating close to her eyes
a)draw a simple diagram to illustrate what the student observes
b) a tube of KMn04 solution is placed in front of white light source.Then the student views the filament through the solution with the grating close to her eyes. she notices that the blue, yellow and orange colors have vanished. Give an explanation.

Can you please help me asap? Thanks ! :)
