Question

What is lens formula ? give its sign conventions and assumptions ?

Answer 1

1/f= 1/v- 1/u
m=v/u= hi/ho

Hope this answer is helpfull.... Please mark as brainliest......................

Answer 2

                         Note :

• f = focal length

• v = distance of image .

• u = distance of object .

Lens formula :

1 / f = 1 / v - 1 / u

Concave lens :

f = negative

u = negative

v =  negative

Convex lens

f = positive

u = negative

v = positive for real image ,

v = negative for virtual image .

The optical centre is chosen as the origin of the coordinate system.

With respect to optical centre :

The part which are above are positive, below negative.

The part which are right are positive while left is negative.

This is just like the normal x-axis and y-axis in the co-ordinate system .
