Focal length of a converging lens

Focus a distant window for a quick estimate, then move a lens and screen along an optical bench to find sharp images of an illuminated object and work out the focal length from 1/f = 1/u + 1/v.

This simulation supports preparation and data-analysis practice. It does not replace carrying out real practical work.
