JEE Main 2024 — 27 January, Shift 1 — Question 35

Identify the physical quantity that cannot be measured using spherometer :

  1. Option A:

    Radius of curvature of concave surface

  2. Option B:

    Specific rotation of liquids

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    Thickness of thin plates

  4. Option D:

    Radius of curvature of convex surface

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

A spherometer is used to measure the radius of curvature of spherical surfaces and the thickness of thin plates. It cannot measure the specific rotation of liquids, which is an optical property measured using a polarimeter.
