xv) Three students measured the focal length of a convex lens using
parallel rays from a distant object. All of them measured the distance
between the lens and the inverted image on the screen. The relation
between the three measurements would most likely be:
* Student A saw a sharp image on the screen and labeled the distance as f1
* Student B saw a slightly larger blurred image on the screen and labeled
the distance as f2
