JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 10th April Evening Slot - No. 27)

The graph shows how the magnification m produced by a thin lens varies with image distance v. What is the focal length of the lens used? JEE Main 2019 (Online) 10th April Evening Slot Physics - Geometrical Optics Question 160 English
$${{{b^2}} \over {ac}}$$
$${{{b^2}c} \over a}$$
$${a \over c}$$
$${b \over c}$$

Explanation

As the graph between magnification (m) and image distance (v) varies linearly, then
m = k1v + k2

$$ \Rightarrow {v \over u} = {k_1}v + {k_2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow {1 \over u} = {k_1} + {{{k_2}} \over v}$$

$$ \Rightarrow {{{k_2}} \over v} - {1 \over u} = {k_1}$$

Clearly, $${k_1} = {1 \over f}$$ and k2 = 1 here

$$ \therefore f = {1 \over {slope\,of\,m - y\,graph}} = {b \over c}$$
