Investigating the Properties of Lenses

Introduction: Refraction is the bending of a wave due to a change in media. A lens is a molded optical device with two opposite surfaces, one of which is curved, that bends light so that it converges or diverges to form an image. The focal point of a lens is the point at which the light converges or seems to diverge from when refracted using an optical device. The focal length is the distance from the optical device to the focal point. The object distance is the distance from the lens to the object. The Image distance is the distance from the lens to the image of the object that is created. A real image is where rays converge, but a virtual image is where the rays appear to converge.
Problem:
Variables: Independent Variable: Object Distance
Dependent Variable: Image Distance
