We should be looking at 0db; ()aa(ydfh m+p fxthe cm scale! The uncertainty in a reading on a scale is usually taken as half the smallest division. Here the smallest division is 0.5 cm so we can read each point on the scale to an accuracy of 0.25 cm. To find the length of the pencil we must take two measurements - one for each end o;afdbph) (a+(my0xd ff the pencil. This means that we must also add the uncertainties, giving an uncertainty of 0.5cm.
