As object distance increases, image
height decreases.
As object height increases, image height
increases.

1. 1/Image Distance  1/di; 1/Object
Distance  1/do
2. Y = mx + b
3. 1/di = k*(1/do) + b
4. K = [∆ (1/di)]/[∆ (1/do)]
5. K = -1.021
6. B = 5.103 1/m
7. 1/di = (-1.021)*(1/do) + 5.103 1/m
Accepted value = 1
Experimental value = magnitude of slope of
graph
Experimental value = 1.021
Absolute Error = |Experimental value –
accepted value|
Absolute Error = |1.021 – 1|
Absolute Error = .021
Relative Error = Absolute error/Accepted value
Relative Error = .021/1
Relative Error = .021
Relative Error = 2.1%
Accepted value = 1/Focal Distance
Accepted value = 1/.194 m
Accepted value = 5.15 1/m
Experimental value = Y-intercept of graph
Experimental value = 5.103 1/m
Absolute Error = |Experimental value – accepted
value|
Absolute Error = |5.103 1/m – 5.15 1/m|
Absolute Error = .047 1/m
Relative Error = Absolute error/Accepted value
Relative Error = (.047 1/m)/(5.15 1/m)
Relative Error = .0091
Relative Error = .91 %
1. The precision in measuring image height
was limited by our tools and setup.
1/di = (-1.021)*(1/do) + 5.103 1/m
1/di = (-1)*(1/do) + (1/f)
1/di + 1/do = 1/f
1. Image Height  hi; Object Height  ho
2. hi  ho
3. hi = k*ho
4. K = ∆hi/∆ho
5. K = 2.051
6. hi = (2.051)*ho
1. Image Height  hi; Object Height  ho
2. hi  ho
3. hi = k*ho
4. K = ∆hi/∆ho
5. K = .7847
6. hi = (.7847)*ho
Accepted value = f/(do – f)
Accepted value = (.194 m)/(.300 m - .194 m)
Accepted value = 1.83
Experimental value = Slope of graph
Experimental value = 2.051
Absolute Error = |Accepted value – Experimental
value|
Absolute Error = |1.83 – 2.051|
Absolute Error = .221
Relative Error = Absolute error/Accepted value
Relative Error = .221/1.83
Relative Error = .121
Relative Error = 12.1%
Accepted value = f/(do – f)
Accepted value = (.194 m)/(.500 m - .194 m)
Accepted value = .634
Experimental value = Slope of graph
Experimental value = .7847
Absolute Error = |Accepted value – Experimental
value|
Absolute Error = |.634 – .7847|
Absolute Error = .1507
Relative Error = Absolute error/Accepted value
Relative Error = .1507/.634
Relative Error = .238
Relative Error = 23.8%
hi = (.7847)*ho
hi = [f/(do – f)]*ho
