JEE Advanced2009PhysicsRay OpticsActual
A student performed the experiment of determination of focal length of a concave mirror by u-v method using an optical bench of length 1.5 ~m . The focal length of the mirror used is 24 cm . The maximum error in the location of the image can be 0.2 ~cm . The 5 sets of (u, v) values recorded by the student (in cm ) are : (42,56),(48 , 48),(60,40),(66,33),(78,39) . The data set(s) that cannot come from experiment and i
Options
- A(42,56)
- B(48,48)
- C(66,33)
- D(78,39)
Correct answer
C. (66,33)
Step-by-step solution
Values of options (c) and (d) don't match with the mirror formula, 1 v + 1 u = 1 f
