So we took some lenses, looked at a distance source of light (outside), and measured the focal length for our lab. We will continue this tomorrow; please fill out the values of d_o based on the focal length of your lens.

Lens Lab: Real Images - Part 1
Today we are starting a lab, but we won't get all that far. First, some bellwork, during which we found out that the place where an image forms behind a convex lens is the focal point IF the light coming into the lens is parallel. The light will be parallel if the source is very far away.
