Question
List four precautions which a student should observe while determining the focal length of a given convex lens by obtaining image of a distant object on a screen.

Answer

Following are the precautions while making the image by hte help of convex lens:
  1. Fix the convex lens vertically in the lens holder.
  2. The base of the lens and white screen should be in a line with the measuring scale.
