  • C. Spectrometer
  • D. Barometer

  • Correct Answer
  • Barometer 

    Explanation

    Air Pressure can be defined as the pressure of air in the earth's atmosphere. It reaches a maximum of about 100,000 Pa near sea level and decreases as altitude increases.

    The barometer is an instrument which is used for measuring Air pressure.

     

    Physics instruments and their uses:

     

    Barkometer  - - - Tanning liquors used in tanning leather
