Lens Lab Results


The purpose of this lab was to have students find the focal length of a convex lens.  An object, lens, and screen were set up on a meter stick.  The lens was adjusted until a clear image appeared on the screen.  The focal length was then calculated and observations of the image were made.  The same lens was then held above a book and the image was observed and observations were taken at the following points:  beyond 2F, at 2F, between 2F and F, at F, in front of F.
