Q30.In an experiment with a convex lens. The plot of the image distance (v′) against the object distance (μ′) measured from the focus gives a curve v′μ′ = 225 . If all the distances are measured in cm. The magnitude of the focal length of the lens is _____ cm.

What This Question Tests

This question directly tests the application of Newton's formula for a lens (product of object and image distances from focus equals square of focal length) to find the focal length.

Concepts Tested

Convex lens formulaNewton's formula for lensesFocus as origin

Formulas Used

x_1 x_2 = f² (Newton's formula)

1/f = 1/v - 1/u
