Q.

In an experiment to measure the focal length (f) of a convex lens, the magnitude of object distance (x) and the image distance (y) are measured with reference to the focal point of the lens. The y-x plot is shown in figure.

The focal length of the lens is _____ cm.                 [2024]


Ans.

(20)

Here, u=20 cm

From the focal point, v=20 cm

xy=f2Newton's formula

20×20=f2

f=20
