Average Focal Length 31.0 cm

Discussion of Result:
The relationship between the image distance and the focal length of the lens were
determined. It was observed that when the object distance is at infinity, the image distance is
equal to the focal length of the lens.
At a certain distance of the lens the image created was found to be real and inverted.
