ANALYSIS:

In part B, the goal is to define the focal length of 2 lenses at defined distance of an object. Here, the

distance between the screen and light source is about 100cm. As per the gathered information, this showed the

dependence between the focal length to the object distance and image distance. The focal length increases when

the object distance and image distance was placed at a greater distance. Also, it can also be observed that lens 2 has

greater focal length compared to lens 1. All calculated percent errors are less than 5%, thus, the results agree with

the theory between the focal length and object distance in lenses.

With the aide of graphing techniques, part C displays the determination of the focal lengths of lenses 1 and

2 wherein the object size, ho is defined to be at 4cm. The gap between the screen and light source is at 90cm

wherein an increment of 10cm is done per trial. At the first position, as the gap between the screen and light source

extends, the object distance reduces whereas the image distance and the height of the image escalates. In the

second position, the object distance increases wherein the image distance and its height decreases. By getting the

inverted values of the object distance and the image distance, the graph can be plotted, thus, the focal length can be

determined by determining the x and y intercepts and getting its average. From that, it can be observed that the

focal length based from the graph has small significant difference from the actual focal length. Because of that, the

calculated percent error is below 5% thus, the results obtained follows the theory concerning lenses.
CONCLUSION:

From the data obtained in table B, using the first lens, in the first position, the lens is near the screen while

the second position, the lens is far from the screen. From that, it was observed that the image distance is greater

when the lens is near while it has a lower value when the lens is far away the object. This means that the image

distance is inversely proportional to the object distance. The focal length at different position were calculate and

from that, at a greater distance, the focal length minimizes. Thus, the focal length is inversely proportional to the

object distance. However, using lens 2, when the lens is farther, the focal length is higher compared to the one that

is near. In this case, the focal length is directly proportional to the object distance.

In table C, graphical method was performed and from that, it can be observed that as the object gets nearer

to the lens, the image distance gets larger. Thus, image distance is inversely proportional to the object distance.

With the decreasing object distance, the height of the image increases, thus, height of the image is inversely

proportional to the object distance. Also, the image formed is real, inverted, and enlarged.

Convex lenses can be used to correct hypermetropia or far-sightedness in which this will bend light rays,

shortening the focal length and makes the light ray focus on the retina in a proper wat. On the other hand, concave

lenses are used to correct near-sightedness, also known as myopia wherein this will diverge light rays thus, making

the clear image of the object on the retina.
