I am sorry, but I am confused to how you get to 0.035 I think I finally understand, thank you so much :)

Okay so, since 29.7° is equal to 0.5183628 radians. Do I simply just use that in the formula. To which I get the answer 0.7, meaning there is an uncertainty of ±0.7?

Is this correct? How do I find the uncertainty using this?

I did take calculus last year but its been so long I don't feel confident on my abilities. But once I did derive it how would I proceed from there. Would it be possible to calculate this graphically?

No

Homework Statement For a physics experiment I need to find the uncertainties and I am using the angle of minimum derivation formula: The value of A=60° and one of the values of D is 29.7° which has a uncertainty of ±2 (I know it's a very high value) Homework Equations How do I calculate the...

The apex angle is 60 degrees.

I am sorry but I don't understand. That might be too advanced for me.

Yes, I do

This is how I set up my experiment. Instead of making sure the laser inside the prism was parallel with the the side of the prism, I just made sure to keep the prism in the same position during the entire experiment. I marked the points b and d as I put the laser through the solutions.

I do know angle B, how does this help me?

For class I conducted a experiment where I made sugar solutions, poured them into a glass prism container and used a laser pointer to find the refractive index. However, while typing in my results I realized I found the angle of deviation instead of the minimum angle of deviation since I didn't...
