    This document summarizes a physics lab on thin lenses. The objective was to simulate convex and concave lenses to calculate their focal lengths. Equipment included an optical bench, lenses, and a screen. Formulas were provided to calculate focal length based on object and image distances for convex lenses, and based on the focal length of a convex lens and the combination focal length for concave lenses. Data tables show measurements for 6 convex lens trials and 9 concave lens trials. Corresponding ray diagrams illustrate the lens configurations. The conclusion is that the 20cm focal length determined graphically matched the calculated focal lengths, verifying the results.

    [Insert Student’s Name]

    Due Date:
    Objective
    The main objective of this lab is to perform the convex and concave lens simulations
    to calculate their focal lengths.
    Equipment Used
    Optical bench, 2 lens holders, screen holder, cardboard screen, convex lenses,
    concave lenses, illuminated object
    Theory
    1 1 1
    The focal length of a convex lens can be calculated from the equation, = +
    f o i
    where o is the object distance and i is the image distance. The focal length of a
    F∗f 1
    concave lens can be calculated from the equation, f 2= where f 1 is the focal
    f 1−F
    length of convex lens and F is the focal length of the combination determined by
    1 1 1
    = + , where u is the distance between the lens and the object and v is the
    F u v
    distance between the lens and the screen.

    Questions
    Focal length obtained from the graph was 20cm and it is similar to the focal lengths
    obtained from the calculations i.e., 20cm.
    Conclusion
    We performed this lab to perform the convex and concave lens simulations to
    calculate their focal lengths. All the experimental data and calculation results are
    recorded in the data analysis portion of the lab report in the tabular form. The
    necessary graph of 1/o vs 1/i is also included in the report. It was observed that the
    focal length obtained from the graph was 20cm and it was similar to the focal lengths
    obtained from the calculations. So, the results are verified.
