PRESIDIANS ENHANCE PHYSICS KNOWLEDGE WITH CONVEX LENS ACTIVITY!

16-08-2020
Students of Presidium participated in the Science Subject Activity-Image Formation by Convex Lens. A convex lens is a converging lens. When parallel rays of light pass through a convex lens, the refracted rays converge at one point called the principal focus. The distance between the principal focus and the center of the lens is called the focal length.
