Hi! I need help with these calculations for part i and part k for a physics Diffraction Lab. We used a slit width 0.4 mm to measure our pattern.
Examine the data and % error values in Data Table 3 where the angular displacement of the simple pendulum decreased but the mass of the pendulum bob and the length of the pendulum remained constant. Describe whether or not your data shows that the period of the pendulum depends on the angular displacement of the pendulum bob, to within a reasonable percent error.
In addition to the anyalysis of the graph, show mathematically that the slope of that line is 2π/√g . Using the slope of your line calculate the value of g and compare it to 9.8.
