Question

You are making measurements using an object (such as a small pencil) and a converging lens. You place the object near the lens and measure the object and image distances. You repeat this experiment, varying the object distance each time, but always using the same lens. You use the thin lens formula, shown below, to determine the focal lenath. Assume all measurements are extremelv accurate. Experimental uncertainties are so small thev can be taken eaual to zero. Which statement regarding what one might conclude from these experimental results is the correct result? You measure different values for the image distance each time, but always calculate the same focal length. The image distance and focal length differ with each set of measurements. You calculate different values for the focal length of the lens each time, but always measure the same value for the image distance.

Explanation / Answer

You measure different values for image each time but always the same focal length
