Spherical Surfaces & Thin Lenses

The graph shows how the magnification m produced by a thin lens varies with image distance v. What is the focal length of the lens used?

Answer: (d)

  1. For a lens m=f−vfm = \frac{f - v}{f}, so ∣m∣|m| varies linearly with vv with slope 1f\frac{1}{f}.
  2. From the graph, slope =cb= \frac{c}{b}.
  3. 1f=cb⇒f=bc\frac{1}{f} = \frac{c}{b} \Rightarrow f = \frac{b}{c}
  4. So the answer is (d) bc\frac{b}{c}.
