To calibrate a prism spectrometer, a student sends light of 10different known wavelengths ? throughthe spectrometer and measuresthe angle ? by which each beam is deflected. Using these results,he makes a calibration curve like Figure 3.8 showing ? as afunction of ?. For the first value of ?, he measures ? six timesand obtains these results (in degrees): 52.5, 52.3, 52.6, 52.5,52.7, 52.4. For each of the nine remainning values of ?, hemeasures the corresponding value of ? just once. What should hetake for the uncertainty in each of these nine measurements of??
