In finding out refractive index of glass slab the following observations were made through travelling microscope $50$ vernier scale division $=$ $49 \mathrm{MSD} ; 20$ divisions on main scale in each $\mathrm{cm}$ For mark on paper

$\mathrm{MSR}=8.45 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{VC}=26$

For mark on paper seen through slab
