How to Calculate Vertical Displacement for Small Angles?
Vertical Displacement for Small Angles calculator uses Vertical Displacement of Refracted Ray = Plate Thickness*(1-1/Refractive Index)*(Angle Of Incidence in degree*pi/180) to calculate the Vertical Displacement of Refracted Ray, The Vertical Displacement for Small Angles is defined as the small vertical distance formed due to the rays landed on the plate. This distance is proportional to angle of rotation of the plate. Plate here, is an attachment, sometimes fitted to the tilting levels and precise levels to enable fine readings to be taken. Vertical Displacement of Refracted Ray is denoted by Vd symbol.
How to calculate Vertical Displacement for Small Angles using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Vertical Displacement for Small Angles, enter Plate Thickness (pt), Refractive Index (RI) & Angle Of Incidence in degree (iangle) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Vertical Displacement for Small Angles calculation can be explained with given input values -> 19184.22 = 0.1*(1-1/1.333)*(44*pi/180).
