The main scale division and pitch of a screw gauge is 0.05 cm. Number of circular scale division in the circular scale is 100. When no object is placed between the studs then the 0 of main scale is not visible and 5th division of circular scale coincides with the main scale. When a wire is placed in between the studs then the reading on main scale is 4.6 mm and 52nd division on circular scale matches with reference line on main scale. The actual diameter of wire is

A spectrometer gives the following reading when used to measure the angle of the prism:
main scale reading =58.5 degree, vernier scale reading =9 division. Given that one division on main scale corresponds to 0.5 degree, 30 division of vernier scale matches with 29 division of main scale. The angle of prism from above data:
