Question
To determine the focal length f of a converging thin lens, you
place a 4.00-mm-tall object a distance s to the left of the lens and measure
the height h′ of the real image that is formed to the right of the
lens. You repeat this process for several values of s that produce a real
image. After graphing your results as 1/h′ versus s, both in cm, you find
that they lie close to a straight line that has slope 0.208 cm^-2. What is
the focal length of the lens?
