Repeat the steps 2-6 three times and note it
down.
After determining the height divide it by 2
and use it to find radius of curvature (Call
it R) (This due the reason that lens is equiconvex in nature).

RESUL
Refractive index of water is:
Refractive index of oil is:
PREC
1) Plane mirror should be completely clean.
AUTIO
2) Liquid taken should be transparent.
3) NS:
Parallax error should be removed.
SOUR
1) Liquid may not be transparent.
2) CES
Parallax may not be fully removed.
3) Legs of spherometer should be placed
OF
evenly on convex lens.
4)ERRO
Tip of screw of spherometer should just
touch the surface.
