    EXPERIMENT – 8

    Aim: To find the focal length of a concave lens using a convex lens.
    Apparatus: An optical bench with four uprights, a convex lens (less focal length), a concave lens (more focal length),
    two lens holder, two optical needles, a knitting needle & a half – metre scale.

    Formulae Used: From lens formula, we have:


    uv
    f =
    u−v
    Observations:
    Actual length of knitting needle, x= 15 cm.
    Observed distance between object needle & the lens when knitting needle is placed between them, y = 15 cm.
    Observed distance between image needle & the lens when knitting needle is placed between them, z = 15 cm.
    Index correction for u = x – y = 0 cm
    Index correction for v = x – z = 0 cm
    Observation Table:
    Position of (cm) uv
    S. No. ’ u = IL2 v = I’L2 f=
    0 (cm) L1 at O1 I L2 I u −v
    1 29 50 75 69 78 6.0 9.0 –18.0
    2 27 50 71.5 65 77.5 6.5 12.5 –13.54
    3 25 50 70.5 65 72.8 5.5 7.8 –18.64
    4 28 50 71.3 63 71.2 8.3 8.2 –17.45
    Calculations:

    Mean f =
    f1 + f2 + f 3 + f4
    4
    = – 16.9 cm ≈ -17cm.
    Result: The focal length of given concave lens = – 17 cm.
