Which scientific instrument is explicitly designed for measuring extremely small lengths with high precision by using a main scale and a rotating circular scale?
Explanation:
A micrometer screw gauge uses the principle of a screw rotating in a nut to measure very tiny dimensions (like the diameter of a thin wire). It features a linear main scale and a rotating circular scale on the thimble. While a Vernier caliper measures small distances using sliding scales, the screw gauge generally offers greater precision (least count often 0.01 mm or 0.001 mm).
Explanation:
Endoscopes consist of bundles of flexible optical fibers. Light introduced at one end is trapped inside the fiber core because it repeatedly strikes the boundary at an angle greater than the critical angle. This Total Internal Reflection allows light and visual images to be transmitted through complex, curving paths inside the body.
