In a single slit diffraction experiment, a slit of width $(0.016 \pm 0.002)$ mm is used to measure the wavelength of a monochromatic light source. In the diffraction pattern, the angular distance between the central maximum and first minimum is measured to be $(2^{\circ} \pm 40')$. The value of the fractional error in the measurement of wavelength is :
[Given : $\sin(2^{\circ}) = 0.035$]
As shown in the figure, a ray AB of unpolarized light enters from water of refractive index $n_w = \frac{4}{3}$ into a medium of refractive index $n_p = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}$ after passing through a glass plate of refractive index $n_g = 1.5$ and a layer of water. At a particular incident angle $i$ the reflected ray CD is polarized in the direction as shown in the figure. The value of $i$ (in degrees) is :

As shown in the figure, the resistance of a galvanometer G can be found by the half-deflection method. Here the resistance R2 is adjusted such that when the key K is closed the deflection in the galvanometer becomes half of the value as compared to when K is open. Half-deflection is obtained at R2 = 4 $\Omega$ and thus the galvanometer resistance is found to be 6 $\Omega$. In this half-deflection condition the current (in mA) through the resistor R1 is :

In a new system of units, the units of mass, length, time and current are $5 \mathrm{~kg}, 5 \mathrm{~m}, 5 \mathrm{~s}$ and 5 A , respectively. If $\mu_0$ and $\epsilon_0$ are the permeability and permittivity of free space, respectively, then in this new system of units, the magnitude of one SI unit of $\sqrt{\mu_0 / \epsilon_0}$, is :
