Can we find the focal length of a concave lens using the distant object method ? Give reasons.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No. We cannot find the focal length of the concave lens by the distant object method as no image is formed on the screen. (Concave lens forms virtual images, which cannot be caught on the screen).
