    Conclusion
    Purpose: To test theories of the thin lens experiment by utilization of
    converging and diverging lenses. Then taking the tested results and confirming
    them mathematically.
    The results confirmed the expected theories of converging and diverging lenses.
    How light projects real and virtual images through diffraction of light. Our results
    were similar to the results of the current theory, there was some variation in what
    we recorded but that could have been due to difference in equipment being used or
    experimenter error. I was convinced in the theory it was easily seen how an object
    was projected through a lens and depending on which lens used and how many
    were used the object was inverted or remained upright. Along with diagrams drawn
    it was simple to understand. It would be interesting to set up a system similar to
    rifle scope utilizing multiple lenses and magnification in order to better grasp how
    everyday objects use and apply what we learn.
    Questions
    1. Draw ray diagrams for Method I and Method II.
    a. Refer to data sheet.
    2. Consider a concave lens made out of air that is immersed in water. Will
    it form a real image that can be focused on a screen? Draw a ray
    diagram to support your answer.
    a. Yes it will form a real image that is inverted.

    L (Balloon)
    i (real image)

    3. If a convex lens with n= 1.3 and f = 25 cm is immersed in a fluid with


    an inex of refraction that is also 1.3 what is the new focal length of the
    lens?
    a. Infinity, because n and the index of refraction are the same the
    light will pass through in straight lines.

    4. What are the major sources of uncertainty in this experiment?


    a. Personal error, Systemic error; poorly calibrated instruments,
    variations in instruments used, random error, precision or
    accuracy or recording results.
