Q30.In an experiment to measure the focal length ( ๐‘“) of a convex lens, the magnitude of object distance ( ๐‘ฅ) and the image distance ( ๐‘ฆ) are measured with reference to the focal point of the lens. The ๐‘ฆ- ๐‘ฅ plot is shown in figure. The focal length of the lens is _____cm .

What This Question Tests

This question tests the ability to interpret a y-x plot from an experiment involving a convex lens and apply Newton's form of the lens formula to find the focal length.

Concepts Tested
