Part I: Images Formed by a Convex Lens (Real Object outside Focal Point)
1. From your graph of the 1/d_i vs. 1/d_o. Curve-fit Equation: y = -0.984x + 0.00394
a. What should the slope of your line be? According the theoretical expression for a convex lens.
b. What is your slope?
c. Compare with a percent error calculation.
2. Using the intercept of your best-fit line, determine the focal length of the lens. Compare this calculated value to the stated value of +250 mm with a percent error. Record these values in the data table below.
3. Why 1/d vs 1/d seems like a strange thing to plot. Explain why.
