(a) Can you measure rough focal length of a convex lens? If yes, why?
(b) Can you measure rough focal length of a concave lens ? If not, why not?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Yes, because it forms a real image, which can be taken on a screen.
(b) No, because a concave lens forms a virtual image that cannot be taken on a screen.
