Step by step solution

01

Step1(Definition)-

It is difference between actual value and estimated value in the comparative manner with actual value as percentage.

02

Step2(Mathematical expression for percentage error)

For calculating percentage error simply divide of experimental value

(π×107)by the actual value (3.1556736107),but it is close.

03

Step3(Conclusion)

actualexperimentalactual×100

So,if we plug the number into equation where we have to subtract the experimental from the actual ,you should get the right answer.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Can an object with constant acceleration reverse its direction of travel? Can it reverse its direction twice? In both cases, explain your reasoning.

When a monochromatic light source moves toward an observer, its wavelength appears to be shorter than the value measured when the source is at rest. Does this contradict the hypothesis that the speed of light is the same for all observers? Explain.

There are several methods for removing electrons from the surface of a semiconductor. Can holes be removed from the surface? Explain.

Analysis of the photon absorption spectrum of a diatomic molecule shows that the vibrational energy levels for small values of n are very nearly equally spaced but the levels for large n are not equally spaced. Discuss the reason for this observation. Do you expect the adjacent levels to move closer together or farther apart as n increases? Explain.

In an experiment involving the photoelectric effect, if the intensity of the incident light (having frequency higher than the threshold frequency) is reduced by a factor of 10 without changing anything else, which (if any) of the following statements about this process will be true? (a) The number of photoelectrons will most likely be reduced by a factor of 10. (b) The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons will most likely be reduced by a factor of 10. (c) The maximum speed of the ejected photoelectrons will most likely be reduced by a factor of 10. (d) The maximum speed of the ejected photoelectrons will most likely be reduced by a factor of 110. (e) The time for the first photoelectron to be ejected will be increased by a factor of 10.
