Prescription for vision and correction are given in units called diopters(D). Determine the meaning of that unit.Obtain information (perhaps by calling a community optometrist or performing an internet search) on the minimum uncertainty with which corrections in diopters are determined and the accuracy with which corrective lenses can be produced.Discuss the sources of uncertainties in both the prescription and accuracy in the manufacture of lenses.

SEND THE ANSWER IN 10 MINUTES PLEASE Assume that you measure the dimensions of a hollow cube with a vernier caliper many time and obtain the following average values in cm: Height: 1 Inner width: 1 Outer width: 1.1 Inner length: 1 Outer length: 1.2 Using these values, calculate the volume of the hollow cube in cm3. Express your result with 3 significant figures.
