Thin lenses — practice question

A student determines the focal length $f$ of a convex lens.
(a(i))[1]

State two differences between the object and the image.

(a(ii))[1]

Measure the height $h_o$ of the object, then measure the height $h_i$ of the image.

(b)[1]

Calculate the image magnification $m$ from the equation $m = \frac{h_i}{h_o}$.

(c)[1]

Calculate the focal length $f$ of the lens from the equation $f = \frac{mu}{(1 + m)}$ where $u = 20.0\,\text{cm}$.
