To determine the focal length of a convex lens by obtaining a sharp image of a distant object, the following steps were suggested which are not in proper sequence.I. Hold the lens between the object and the screen.II. Adjust the position of the lens to form a sharp image.III. Select a suitable distant object.IV. Measure the distance between the lens and the screen.The correct sequence of steps to determine the focal length of the lens is- III, I, II, IV
- III, I, IV, II
- III, IV, II, I
- I, II, III, IV
(a) III, I, II, IV
Explanation
The correct sequence of steps to determine the focal length of the lens is-
1. Select a suitable distant object.
2. Hold the lens between the object and the screen.
3. Adjust the position of the lens to form a sharp image.
4. Measure the distance between the lens and the screen.
