Following are the precautions while making the image by hte help of convex lens:
- Fix the convex lens vertically in the lens holder.
- The base of the lens and white screen should be in a line with the measuring scale.
- Record the position of the lens and screen only when a well defined sharp image is formed.
- There should not be any obstacle in the path of the convex lens.
