Experiment 10: Lenses

Experiment 10: Lenses

Introduction:
The purpose of this experiment find the relationship between the object distance and the image distance produced by a projected image of a slit through a lens. First, we looked at the behavior of light through a magnifying glass which is a double convex lens. We used a light box which illuminated a pattern on a piece of paper, and placed the magnifying glass at specific distances away from the light box, and had a blank sheet on which to project the image.

Conclusion:
We observed that the image is always inverted, along both the vertical and horizontal axis, if this was a single convex mirror then the image would not have have been inverted. The slope of the negative inverse d_0 to the negative inverse d_i is about 0.5. This would be the degree M that the image is changing. like we observed if the object was getting further away then the image would become smaller and smaller till it becomes to small to measure.
