    Experiment 8

    This experiment aims to determine the focal length of a concave lens using a convex lens. An optical bench with lenses and a needle are used. When the needle is placed beyond the focal length of the convex lens, a real inverted image forms. The concave lens is then placed between the convex lens and image. This shifts the image closer due to divergence. By varying the needle position and measuring the image shift, the focal length of the concave lens can be calculated using lens equations. Observations of the needle and image positions are then used to calculate the focal length.

    Experiment To find the focal length of concave lens using a convex lensS.

    Apparatus
    An optical bench, four uprights, a convex lens, a concave lens,
    metre rod.
    knitting needle, a

    Theory
    When an optical placed at a distance slightly
    needle O is
    a real and inverted
    more than the focal length of convex leps L,

    image I' is formed at a distance beyond 2F. If the given


    concave

    lens L, is placed in between the gónvex lens and the image I'.
    Concave lens diverge the rays påssing through it and the image
    shifted to I. Fig. 6.10
    Thus concave lens fofms a real image I of virtual object I.
