Camera

WHAT TO DO:

  • Stand so that the screen and the lens are between you and the well lit portion of the room.
  • Looking at the screen toward the lens, move the screen along the rail until you see a clear image on the screen.

 

What does the image on the screen look like?

 

 

 

ANSWER: On the screen is an upside down image of the room.

 

 

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

When light off objects in the room travels through the convex lens it forms a real image where the light rays meet. This real image will appear upside down and in focus when the screen is placed in the correct location.
