Question

The formula below is called ______.
1/f = 1/v  - 1/u

  1. Mirror formula
  2. Magnification formula for mirrors
  3. Lens formula
  4. Magnification formula for lenses

hintHint:

Lens formula is a well-designed formula that is applicable for concave as well as convex lenses. The lens formula is used to find image distance, type of image .

The correct answer is: Lens formula


    • The mirror equation
       1 over v plus 1 over u equals 1 over f
    • The lens formula1 over v minus 1 over u equals 1 over f
    • Magnification (m) = h/h'
