### Answer the Questions

1. **Graphing**:
- Plot the image distance \( b \) (x-axis) vs. magnification \( N \) (y-axis).

2. **Magnification Comparison**:
- Is \( N \) always equal to \(
rac{L_B}{L_v} \)?
- Not necessarily. The slight differences can arise due to experimental errors
or inaccuracies in measurement. The lens formula \(
rac{1}{f} =
rac{1}{v} +
rac{1}{b} \) can also result in slight deviations.

3. **Magnification Dependency**:
- Magnification depends on the distances \( v \) and \( b \), and is influenced
by the lens' focal length \( f \).

4. **Focal Length**:
- If the graph plots correctly, the focal length \( f = 10 \) cm should be
evident from the lens formula relationship. Ensure the experimental setup confirms
this.

5. **Report Submission**:
- Compile your findings, calculations, and the graph to submit the report as
required.
