Q1.The IGCSE class is determining the focal length of a converging lens.
Fig. 4.1 shows the apparatus used to produce an image on the screen.

(a) (i) On Fig. 4.1, measure the distance u between the illuminated object and the
centre of the lens.
u= around 3 cm
(ii) On Fig. 4.1, measure the distance v between the centre of the lens and the
screen.
v= around 5 cm
[2]
(b) (i) Calculate uv.
uv= 15cm2
(ii) Calculate u + v.

u+v= 8cm [1]


(iii) Calculate x using the equation x = uv/u+v

x= 15/8 [1]
(c) Fig. 4.1 is drawn 1/10th of actual size. The focal length f of the lens is given by the
equation f = 10x.
Calculate a value for the focal length f of the lens, giving your answer to a suitable
number of significant figures for this experiment.
f = 150/8[2]

(d) A student carrying out this experiment changes the position of the lens and then
moves
the screen to produce a well-focused image.
She records the distance v between the centre of the lens and the screen as v = 18.2
cm.
She finds it difficult to decide the exact point at which the image is sharpest.
Suggest a range of v values for which the image may appear well-focused.
range of v values = 18.7 to 37.4 [1]
(e) State one precautions that you could take in this experiment to obtain reliable
results.

 Should be done in a dark room

(a) On Fig. 5.1, measure the unstretched length l 0 of the spring, in mm.

l0= 44mm[1]
(b) A student hangs the spring on the forcemeter with the load attached to the bottom
of the
spring, as shown in Fig. 5.1. The load remains on the bench. He gently raises the
forcemeter until it reads 1.0 N. He measures the new length l of the spring. He
repeats the procedure using a range of forcemeter readings. The readings are
recorded in Table 5.1.

(i) Calculate the extension e of the spring, for each set of readings, using the
equation e = (l – l 0 ). Record the values of e in Table 5.1. [1]

(ii) Plot a graph of e / mm (y-axis) against F / N (x-axis).
