CALCULATIONS-
1/e2 of maximum intensity, Ie = 0.017871 mA
 Diameter of the beam corresponds to Ie , d1= 0.6mm

1/e2 of maximum intensity, Ie = 0.019089 mA

 Diameter of the beam corresponds to Ie ,d2= 0.6mm

 Divergence angle(Θ) = (d2-d1)/(z2-z1) = 0.001218 mrad

PERCENTAGE ERROR-There is no percentage error

SOURCES OF ERROR-

1) Recording of the wrong reading

2) Detector is not alined properly

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION-

The angle of divergence of the diode laser is 0.001218 milliradian
And Since this angle is very small (in the range of milliradian), we conclude that laser
beam is highly directional as compared to ordinary light source.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
 It will provide the modest experience that allows students to
develop and improve their experimental skills and develop ability
to analyzedata.
 Ability to demonstrate the practical skill on measurements and
instrumentation techniques of some Physics experiments. Students
will develop the ability to use appropriate physical concepts to
obtain quantitative solutions to problems inphysics.
 Students will demonstrate basic experimental skills by setting up
laboratory equipment safely and efficiently, plan and carry out
experimental procedures, and report verbally and in written
language the results of theexperiment.
 Students will develop skills by the practice of setting up and
conducting anexperimentwithdueregardstominimizing
measurement error.
