| To study the nature and size of the ima
ige formed by a convex lens on a screen by
using a candle and screen (for differen
t distances of the candle from the lens).
praTUS AND MATERIAL REQUIRED
Ar
‘An optical bench with three uprights, a convex lens of small focal length, a candle,
a cardboard
creen/ground glass screen, metre scale and a match box.

[precautions
1. The experiment must be performed at a shaded place free from the air droughts
2. The candle flame should be as high as the optical centre of the lens.
3. The principal axis ofthe lens should be horizontal and parallel to the optical bench
4. The uprights holding the lens screen and candle should be rigid and mounted yoy
5. The aperture of the lens must be small for getting a distinct image. =
