| Title | Lens Equation Experiment using Excel |
| Description | Students should be able to derive the lens equation: 1/f = 1/do + 1/di (not usually an easy task) using data collected in class with actual convex lenses or online with the simulation. (IMPORTANT NOTE: clicking "download" is the best choice because the other option gives you a document format, not an Excel file.) |
