Discussion:
1. Parallel light rays from the distant object will focus on the focal point after passing through the convex
lens. Therefore, the focal length of lens can be determined by measuring the distance between the optical
centre and the screen.
2. From the results obtained, it is found that when the thickness of the lens increases, the focal length
decreases. This shows that a thick lens has a short focal length and vice versa.
3. Object in the laboratory cannot be used as it is too close to the lens and the light rays from near object is
not parallel.

Conclusion:
A thick convex lens has a short focal length while a thin convex lens has a long focal length.

is seen on the screen.
5. The eyepiece that is placed in front of the translucent screen is adjusted until a clear and magnified
