PLANNING EXPERIMENT FORM 4 and 5

LIGHT WAVES
LENS REFRACTION OF WATER

Water
Container

MV : Object distance Manipulated Variable : Depth of water

RV: Size of image@height of image@magnification Responding Variable : Wavelength
CV :Focal length of lens@power of lens Constant Variable : frequency

Object Image
distance distance
bulb
lens screen

Meter rule

Low voltage power supply

Procedure:
(i) The convex lens is placed at distance of, u = 10 cm from the object.
(ii)The bulb light up.The screen is adjusted until a sharp image is formed on
it. The size/heigth of the image, h is measured by using metre ruler.
(iii)The experiment is repeated with values of u = 20 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm and
50 cm.
1.2 REFRACTION OF LIGTH
Procedure:
(i) The tank is filled with water and the legs of the tank are adjusted until
depth ,20 cm of the water in the tank is uniform.
(ii) The motor is switched on and The waves are freeze by a mechanical
stroboscope. The wave length is measured by using metre rule and
recorded.
(iii) The experiment is repeated with depth of water, d =40 cm, 60 cm, 80
cm and 100 cm.
1.4 INTERFERENCE OF SOUND

Manipulated Variable : Real depth MV: Distance between two loudspeaker,a

Responding Variable : Apparent depth RV : Distance between two constructive ,x
Constant Variable: Density of water CV : Distance between the loudspeaker and microphone, D

Procedure :
(i) The beaker is filled with water until a depth 6.0 cm
(ii)A pin which is attached to a cork is moved up and down until until
there is no parallax between the pin and the image of the line.
The distance of the pin from the surface of the water is the apparent
depth, d, of the water.
(iii) The experiment is repeated with different values of the real depth
D = 8.0 cm,10.0 cm, 12.0 cm and 14.0 cm.
Procedure :
(i) The audio-frequency generator is switched on. Use a distance between
two loud speaker, a= 1.0m.
(ii)The distance between two successive loud,x is measured by using CRO
(iii) The experiment is repeated with different a = 2.0 cm,3.0 cm,4.0 cm and
5.0 cm.
