TABLE H: FOCAL LENGTH OF A CONCAVE LENS

CONCLUSION (5 pts)

In table A we can see that all the percent difference is zero because the light that is reflected
has the same angle to the incidence angle, so that we can conclude that the angle of incidence
is equals to angle of reflection. In table B and C, we can see that the angle of refraction is not
equal to the incidence angle because the medium is denser, so the light bends. In conclusion
the refraction of light or bending of light depends on the refractive index of an object. In table
H, we can conclude that different distance of an object affects the distance of the image and
also using the different lens will also change the distance of the image.
