Focal Length Determination Methods

The video tutorial explains how to determine the focal length of a convex lens using two graphical methods: the UV graphical method and the 1/U 1/V graphical method. It provides step-by-step instructions on plotting graphs, ensuring symmetry, and calculating the focal length from the graphs. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using equal scales on both axes for accurate results and demonstrates the calculation of focal length using both methods, showing that the results are consistent.

What are the two graphical methods discussed for determining the focal length of a convex lens?

• UV and 1/U 1/V methods

• UV and XY methods

• 1/U 1/V and XY methods

• UV and AB methods

In the UV graphical method, what is the significance of starting with the same value on both axes?

• To ensure the graph is colorful

• To make the graph easier to read

• To ensure the graph is symmetric

• To make the graph larger

What is the purpose of drawing an angular bisector in the UV graphical method?

• To make the graph more complex

• To find the midpoint of the graph

• To divide an angle into equal halves

• To divide the graph into two parts

How is the focal length calculated using the UV graphical method?

• By measuring the length of the graph

• By using the formula OC/2 or OB/2

• By counting the number of points on the graph

• By using the formula OC+OB

In the 1/U 1/V graphical method, what is plotted along the x-axis?

• U

• V

• 1/U

• 1/V

What is the result when the straight line in the 1/U 1/V graph intersects the axes?

• It forms a triangle

• It gives the focal length

• It creates a new graph

• It shows the midpoint

What is the focal length of the convex lens as determined by the 1/U 1/V graphical method?

• 0.094 cm

• 21.3 cm

• 10.63 cm

• 10.65 cm

How do the results of the UV and 1/U 1/V graphical methods compare?

• They are significantly different

• They are almost the same

• They are exactly the same

• They are unrelated
