Physics WAEC / WASSCE 2018 Reflection, Refraction & Dispersion of Light
You are provided with a metre rule, lens, screen, ray box, and other necessary apparatus. i. Set up the experiment as shown in the diagram above. Measure and record the diameter a\(_{0}\), of the illuminated object. ii. Place the object at a distance x= 25cm from the lens. Adjust the screen until a sharp image is obtained on the screen. iii. Measure and record the diameter, a, of the image. iv. Measure and record the distance v between the lens and the screen. v. Evaluate y = P = \(\frac{1+y^{2}}{y}\) and T= x+v. vi. Repeat the procedure for x = 30cm, 35cm, 40cm and 45cm. In each case, determine the corresponding values of a,v,y, P and T. vii. Tabulate your results. viii. Plot a graph of P on the vertical axis against T on the horizontal axis starting both axes from the origin (0,0). ix. Determine the slope, s, of the graph. x. Determine the intercept, c, on the horizontal axis. xi Evaluate K = \(\frac{c}{2}\) xii. State two precautions taken to ensure accurate results. (b)i. Explain the statement, the focal length of a converging lens is 20cm. ii. An object is placed at a distance x from a converging lens of focal length 20cm. If the magnification of the real image is 5, calculate the value of x.
