Abstract: We attempted to accurately predict the focal length for four lens systems: a 100 mm lens, a 200 mm lens, a compound lens system, and an unknown lens. This was done by using an optics track with a mounted light and displayed image, and measurement of the location of image in full focus after movement of a white display plate set up after the lens system. The best value of f100 was determined to be from unweighted computations, with a value of f100=(0.096±0.0004) m, with a percent error of 3.6%, a fractional error of 0.4%, and a discrepancy of 9.1σ. The best value of f200 was determined to be from weighted calculations, giving a value of f200 =(0.206±0.001) m, with a percent error of 3.0%, a fractional error of 0.65%, and a discrepancy of 4.5σ. The compound lens system yielded a final image distance of 0.093 m for 0.1 m separation and a final image distance of 0.048 m for 0.2 m separation. The percent errors were 0.3% and 8.0% respectively. The unknown lens had a measured focal length of 0.14 m, a 7.7% percent error from the known value of 0.13 m. Systematic error within each of the experimental procedures could of arisen from subjectivity of the displayed image’s focus or lens damage in the form of scratches. However, the preciseness of the experimental measurements indicates that perhaps the manufacturer or the lenses misreported the focal length of the lens, indicating that the experimental values of the focal lengths are more reliable than the known values.
Procedures Used: Procedures were followed in accordance with those outlined in the PHYS-210 laboratory hand out, for experiment V: thin lenses. No significant derivations were made from the laboratory handout. However, for the determine of the focal point of the ...

2. I believe that our measurements, at least the statistically calculated measurements, are far more accurate than the manufacturer’s stated focal lengths. From our experimental results, we see that there’s a significantly low standard deviation of the mean for both converging lens (0.0004 m and 0.0005 m, respectively). In addition, both fractional errors are very low, indicating that random error was only 0.4% and 0.2% of the mean’s value in each experimental procedure. Therefore, there was either an extremely stable systematic error, or the manufacturer has limited quality control on their lenses. Because there wasn’t any physical systematic error evident that was obvious within the experimental procedure, we can conclude that the manufacturer’s estimated focal point was probably off.

Higher magnification with good resolution can be obtained by using a special objective lens. This lens is called an Oil Immersion lens; this is a lens with fluid (oil) between the lens and the objective, but even with this lens it not possible to achieve effective magnification above 2000 times. The light microscope opened up a new world of structural detail for biologists, revealing the variety of cell forms making up new organisms. After a while scientists became curious, as the limitations prevented them
This is the distance from the lens to the camera sensor and is measured in millimeters. This distance helps to identify how much the lens can zoom towards an object in the frame without losing any detail. A short length leads to an image that comes in a wide-angle and captures more of the scene in your pictures. A long length creates a magnified image that comes with a field of view that is narrow. The focal lengths available with macro lenses can extend from 8-millimeters to around 400-millimeters.

Myopia is diagnosed with a standard eye exam performed by an optometrist. During a typical exam, an optometrist will place an instrument called a phoropter with a series of lenses in front of your eyes and ask you to identify letters on a distance chart. The exam measures visual acuity, the sharpness or clarity of vision, and is denoted as a fraction such as 20/20. A visual acuity of 20/20 means that you can see what the average person can see when standing 20 feet away from the chart. With information gathered from ...
This is a representation of the eye's lens system. This eye has no eye condition, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, and the lens is drawn in its relaxed position. The light rays are focused appropriately on the retina. The thickness of the cornea is 0.449 mm, the distance from the cornea to the lens is 2.

I have always believed Optometry would be a stimulating and rewarding profession for me to pursue. I have observed first-hand the positive difference Optometrists make to people’s lives on a daily basis, both through treatment of current health concerns and more importantly, preventative healthcare which is a key objective for society in the future. The ability to have such an impact on an individual’s lifestyle would leave me with an immense sense of job satisfaction. I have thoroughly enjoyed my BTEC Extended Diploma in Applied Science programme, especially the Physics and Maths units. As an optometrist, their primary role involves measurement and optical correction of sight defects (refractive errors), detection and recognition of ocular disease and dysfunction.

The refracting telescope is one of many different types of telescope. Refracting telescopes work by refracting the light through an initial convex lens, (known as the objective lens), then through another convex lens (known as the eyepiece lens). These two lenses focus the light into the eyepiece so we can see the image clearly.
