Physics 2004 JAMB Past Questions - Question 7: If u is the object distance and v the image distance, which of the following expressions gives the linear magnification produced by a convex lens of focal length
Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
D
Explanation
Magnification, M = v/u = v (1/u)
And for the Lens formula 1/u + 1/v = 1/f
=> 1/u = 1/f - 1/v
∴M = V(1/u)
= V(1/f - 1/v) = v/f - v/v = v/f - 1
∴M = v/f - 1
