1. Introduction of the experiment:
The Focal length Is the distance between center of the lens and the focal point of the lens. This point produce from the meeting of parallel rays of light . A lens is a transparent curved surface that is used to refract light. It is usually made from glass. There are two different types of lenses
2. Aim of the experiment:
–Determination the focal length of the convex lens by graphical method
3-Tools of The experiment
· Convex lens
· Meter scale
· Source of light ( lamp )
· White screen
· Object
· Two holders for lens and object
4. Steps and methods of the experiment:
1-Place the object pin between the lamp and the lens .
2-Move the lens away from the object slowly to the place where the sharpest image is formed on the screen , record the distance between the object and lens and the distance between lens and the screen .
3-Increase the distance of the object (3cm) and move the lens until the sharp image formed on the screen record the distance of object and image
4-Repeat step 3 at least 5 times, every time you should change the position of the screen and move the lens until the formation of the sharp image.
5-Parameters, Final Law of The experiment
Parameters:
U: Distance of object from lens (cm)
V: Distance of image from lens V (cm)
F: the focal length of the convex lens
Final Law:
The focal length of lens is
