A students plots a graph between inverse of magnification 1 / m produced by a convex thin lens and the object distance u as shown in figure. What was the focal length of the lens used?
Options
- Ab c a
- Bb c a
- Cc b
- Db c
Correct answer
C. c b
Step-by-step solution
Lens formula, 1 v - 1 u = 1 f or u v -1= u f 1 ~m -1= u f or 1 ~m = ( 1 f ) u +1 this is the equation of a straight line whose slope 1 f - b c 1- c b
