TESTING INVESTIGATION: CONVEX LENS
GIVEN: Optics bench, convex lens, light source and screen
TASK: Determine the focal length of a converging lens.
Explain how you can make the determination by using a graph not just an equation.
POSTER: Two graphs clearly indicating how the focal length is determined:
1. Graph of image distance versus object distance
2. Graph of linearized data
EXTENSION ACTIVITY 1:
Image formation with two convex lenses.
EXTENSION ACTIVITY 2:
Determine the focal length of a diverging lens.
AP PHYSICS 2
Essential Knowledge 6.E.5: The refraction of light as it travels from one transparent medium to another can be used to form images.
