Sharpness of resonance is quantitatively described by a dimensionless number known as Q-factor or quality factor which is numerically equal to ratio of resonant frequency to bandwidth.
therefore
Q-factor = resonant frequency / bandwidth
sharpness of resonance =
for monatomic gases f = 3
the binding energy of the nucleus is related to mass defect Δm by
When two quantities are added or subtracted, the absolute error in the final result is the sum of the absolute errors in the individual quantities.
e.g: error in the sum x=a+b is
maximum value of error =
