We found an approximate value for the focal length of a concave mirror. Then we used a raybox, cross hairs and screen to get a more precise value.

  • The cardboard box is a very nice tip - I need to stock up!

    Rather than a cross-hair source I use greaseproof paper with an arrow marked on it, but your source looks more accurate. Do you draw on the same paper or use something else.

    Thanks for this.

  • Thanks. The cardboard box is definitely easier than cramming a human pyramid into our tiny dark room. The source came as part of a Unilab kit. There's a still of it in the focal length of a converging lens video.
