1 1 To find the focal length of a convex lens by plotting graph between u and v or between and . 𝑢 𝑣
Apparatus Required :-
1. Convex lens with stand and holder
2. Object pin (needle )with stand 3. Image pin with stand 4. Meter scale 5. Geometry box 6. Graph paper -2
Theory:- The Focal length of convex lens formula is given by 1 1 1 = + 𝑓 𝑢 𝑣 𝑢𝑣 ⇒𝑓= 𝑢+𝑣
Where f = focal length
u = object distance
v = Image distance
Observation:-
The Position of convex lens is = 50 cm
The rough focal length is = 13.5 to 14.5 cm
The rough centre of curvature is = 27 to 29 cm

CALCULATION :-
From graph-1,
From u-v graph, equally inclined line meets the curve at the point where u = v .
Object distance = Image distance
When object is placed at center of curvature, 2f = u = v .
