Understanding Lens Experiment Results: Focal Length and Graph Interpretation
so my 1/f is 0.0945, y= 0.0945 - 0.06 so y is = 0.0345, on my graph when x = to 0.06 y = 0.0345 so i guess I've finally managed it. Thanks guys- shakerist

Understanding Lens Experiment Results: Focal Length and Graph Interpretation
Here are my results, and i am trying to show that my results are accurate and also trying to show 1/f = 1/Di + 1/Do from my graphs, sorry for being such an idiot I am a gcse physics student and i have no idea what I am doing, one thing for sure i won't be picking it for A levels :P- shakerist

Understanding Lens Experiment Results: Focal Length and Graph Interpretation
my y intercept is 0.0945 and my x intercept is also 0.0945 if that helps. Also the ligh source was a small lightbulb. We changed the distance of the lightbulb and took a reading of Di. I am not giving a lot of detail as it might go down as cheating- shakerist

Understanding Lens Experiment Results: Focal Length and Graph Interpretation
Hi, Well I did it Di vs Do and it is a straight line from the top left going down to the bottom right. I have a gradient of -1 and from my understanding f= gradient so my f is -1. 1/-1 is -1 and when i add my Di and Do i don't get -1 instead i get 0.09 ... which is positive not negative. So what...- shakerist

Understanding Lens Experiment Results: Focal Length and Graph Interpretation
Well at school we are doing an experiment to find out the factors which affect the distance between the lens and the image. Well I did the convex lens experiement and from my results i plotted a graph which is y vs x The distance between the lightbulb and lens is x and the distance between...- shakerist
