$A$ spectrometer gives the following reading when used to measure the angle of a prism.
Main scale reading : $58.5^{\circ}$
Vernier scale reading : $09$ divisions
Given that $1$ division on the main scale corresponds to $0.5^{\circ}$. The total number of divisions on the Vernier scale is $30$,which matches $29$ divisions of the main scale. The angle of the prism from the above data is ....... $degree$. (in $^{\circ}$)

  • A
