About This Product
The screen is moved slowly along the image path behind a lens until the projected image is sharp, after which the image distance is measured from the lens or mirror. This is the basic step in Light And Optics focal-length and image-formation practicals, and the compact format suits portable set-ups such as optics experiment kits for schools.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can a virtual image be shown on this screen? No. A screen can only receive real images, such as those formed by a convex lens or a suitable concave mirror arrangement; a virtual image cannot be projected onto it.
Q2. How is it used to find the focal length of a convex lens? A distant object is focused through the lens and the screen is moved until the image is sharp; the distance from the lens to the screen is then measured.
