Imagine you were given a converging lens and a meter stick and sent outside on a sunny day. In a few sentences, describe a method to measure, as accurately as possible, the focal length of the lens using only the lens, a meter stick, and your outside surroundings. Explain your reasoning

Respuesta :

Answer:

the Sun is the object that is at a very great distance and the focus point of the sun's shape is the distance to the magnesia, this image is equal to the seal distance

Explanation:

The method for measuring the focal length of a lens is based on the use of the constructor's equation

        [tex]\frac{1}{f } = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}[/tex]

where q and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively, f is the focal length.

If we place the object very far away (infinity) the equation remains

        [tex]\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{q}[/tex]

Therefore with this we can devise a means for measuring the Sun is the object that is at a very great distance and the focus point of the sun's shape is the distance to the magnesia, this image is equal to the seal distance
