Description
This video shows how to determine the uncertainty of a value obtained from a non-linear function for use in the IB Physics Internal Assessment and in Paper 1B of the examination. Using a Snell's law experiment as an example, the uncertainty on an angle is propagated through the sine function to determine the uncertainty on the sine of the angle for use in drawing uncertainty bars and further calculations.
