EASY
IMPORTANT

Given below are a few steps (not in proper sequence) followed in the determination of focal length of a given convex lens by obtaining a sharp image of a distant object—

(A) Measure the distance between the lens and screen.

(B) Adjust the position of the lens to form a sharp image.

(C) Select a suitable distant object.

(D) Hold the lens between the object and the screen with its faces parallel to the screen.

The correct sequence of steps for determination of focal length is—
