you havr a lens suggest an experiment to find out the focal length of the lens
Answers
Explanation:
Place the white screen behind the lens such that the image of the object is formed on the screen. Now move the screen until you get a sharp, diminished & inverted image of the distant object. ... The difference between the lens mark & the screen mark will give the focal length.
Answer:
Aim: To find the focal length of a lens
Apparatus required: double convex lens, metre scale, a white screen, lens holder ,distant object
Procedure:
• Set up the apparatus near a window so to locate a distant object .
• Mount the convex lens on the lens holder.
• Now place the metre scale on the table and keep the lens at a distance of 5 cm mark on the metre scale such that the mid point of lens holder coincides with 5 cm mark.
• Place the white screen behind the lens such that the image of the object is formed on the screen.
• Now move the screen until you get a sharp, diminished & inverted image of the distant object.
• Mark the point on the scale where you get the desired image. The difference between the lens mark & the screen mark will give the focal length.
• Now place the lens on a new position that is 10 cm and find the focal length.
• Repeat the above steps by keeping the lens at 10 cm, 15 cm & so on to get more observations
