Lab: Applying the Lens Equation Daniela Perdomo Lab Partner: Stephanie Landers Date: 21 November 2002 Place: Graded School - São Paulo, Brazil Time: 8:10 h - 9:35 h Purpose/Introduction: The purpose of this laboratory investigation is to verify the validity of the Lens Equation which states that 1/di + 1/do = 1/f, where di is the distance from the image to the lens, do is the distance from the object to the lens, and f is the focal length. Hypothesis: The laboratory investigators hypothesized that the data obtained in the procedure of this experiment would be consistent with the Lens Equation. Though different methods of obtaining focal lengths (f) will be used throughout the lab, the obtained f's should still be equal. Materials: * 2 double convex lenses * 1 candle * 1 box of matches * 1 meter stick * 1 lens holder * 1 cardholder * 1 candleholder * 1 blank card Diagram: Procedure: The first lens used in this investigation was a double...
