A student performed the experiment of determination of focal length of a concave mirror by u−vu-v method using an optical bench of length 1.5 m1.5 \mathrm{~m}. The focal length of the mirror used is 24 cm\mathrm{cm}. The maximum error in the location of the image can be 0.2 cm0.2 \mathrm{~cm}. The 5 sets of (u,v)(u, v) values recorded by the student (in cm)\mathrm{cm}) are : (42,56),(48(42,56),(48, 48),(60,40),(66,33),(78,39)48),(60,40),(66,33),(78,39). The data set(s) that cannot come from experiment and is (are) incorrectly recorded, is(are)

Options

  1. A(42,56)(42,56)
  2. B(48,48)(48,48)
  3. C(66,33)(66,33)
  4. D(78,39)(78,39)

Correct answer

C. (66,33)(66,33)

Step-by-step solution

Values of options (c) and (d) don't match with the mirror formula, 1v+1u=1f\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}
