What is a parallax error?
Open in App
Solution
Parallax error is the error that occurs due to incorrect positioning of the eyes while taking a reading on a measuring scale. If the viewing angle is not perpendicular to the scale at the point where we are taking the reading, we will get less or more value of the measurement than the actual value.
