    The object distance u, the image distance v and the magnification m in a lens follow certain linear relations.  These are                                                                [Roorkee 2000]

    A)             \[\frac{1}{u}\text{ versus }\frac{1}{v}\]                      

    B)            m versus u

    C)            u versus v                              

    D)            m versus v

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     For a lens \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}\]\[\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{f}\]                   .....(i)                    Also  \[m=\frac{f-v}{f}=1-\frac{v}{f}\]\[\Rightarrow m=\left( -\frac{1}{f} \right)\ v+1\]         ....(ii)                    On comparing equations (i) and (ii) with \[y=mx+c.\]            It is clear that relationship between \[\frac{1}{v}\] vs \[\frac{1}{u}\] and m vs v is linear.
