NEET Physics Optical Instruments MCQ Question
Consider a scenario where a double convex lens is used to form an image of an object placed at a distance u from the lens. According to the thin lens formula, 1/v - 1/u = 1/f, what does 'v' represent in this equation?
Image distance from the lens
Object distance from the lens
The focal length of the lens
The radius of curvature of the lens
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In the thin lens formula 1/v - 1/u = 1/f, 'v' represents the image distance from the lens. The formula is applicable for both real and virtual images formed by convex and concave lenses.
