Lens Equation Experiment using Excel |
|
Description
|
Students should be able to derive the lens equation:
1/f = 1/do + 1/di
(not usually an easy task)
using data collected in class with actual convex lenses or online with the simulation.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: clicking "download" is the best choice because the other option gives you a document format, not an Excel file.) |
