    Determining Focal Length of Convex Lens Without Apparatus

    So I got a lab to plan and design an experiment to determine the focal length of a convex lens and involve the use of lens eq. and by means of plotting a graph...I have a basic rundown of what needs to be done and all but I am somewhat in a dilemma i don't have any access to any of the apparatus...

    Solving Refraction Puzzles: Coin Depth & Convex Lens Image

    Problem 1: A thin hollow glass sphere has a radius of 1 m. A coin is placed at the bottom of the glass sphere. 2.09 metre cube of a liquid of refractive index 1.5 is poured into the glass shpere. A person is viewing the object vertically. What is the apparent depth of the coin? Im not sure...

    Graphically interpreting data regarding magnification with a convex lens

    Homework Statement How do I find the relationship of magnification to the graph of "Object Distance vs. Image Distance" or the graph of "Inverse Object Distance vs. Inverse Image Distance" for data points collected from a light box and a convex lens? Basically for the lab I used a light...

    Solve Convex Lens Question: Find Focal Length & Magnification

    An object and a screen are fixed at a distance of 80cm apart and a convex lens forms a real image of the object on the screen. When the lens is moved along its axis a distance of 16cm, a real image of the object is again formed on the screen. Find the focal length of the lens and the...

    Focal length of plano convex lens

    # Diameter of a Plano-convex lens is 6 cm and the thickness at the center is 3 mm. If the speed of light in the material of the lens is 2 x 10^8 m/sec, what is the focal length of the lens? I solved it in the following way: Let R be the radius of curvature of the convex surface. Given that AB...

    Focal length of concave lens using convex lens

    # A convex lens of focal length 10 cm forms a real image of an object placed at a distance of 20 cm from it. Midway between the convex lens and the position of the image a thin concave lens is introduced. The image formed now is at a distance of 5 cm away from the earlier position. What is the...

    At Center of Convex Lens & Glass Plate: What is Observed?

    A convex lens is placed on a flat glass plate and illuminated from above with monochromatic red light. When viewed from above, concentric bans of red and dark are observed. What does one observe at the exact center of the lens where the lens and the glass plate are in direct contact.

    Help Solve Physics Problem Involving a Convex Lens

    Lez prob hi, An object is moving with velocity 0.01 m/s towards a convex lens of focal length 0.3m. Find the magnitude of rate of separation of image from the lens when the object is at a distance of 0.4 m from the lens. Also calculate the magnitude of the rate of change of the lateral...
