Heyy this is my first time on here and I'm only doing first year physics so my understanding might not be up to scratch =/
I'm doing a practical on thin lenses where we have to do a various amount of measurements and calculations to do with convex lenses. However I'm not very confident with some of the things needed.
If anyone could help me with how to calculate the uncertainty of 1/X (where X has an uncertainty of delta X) and how I would plot the object distance and image distance to create a straight line (It hints to examine the relationship between these distances and focal length in the thin lens equation)
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if I confused you with really bad descriptions, sorry
