In an optics experiment, with the position of the object fixed, a student varies the position of a convex lens and for each position, the screen is adjusted to get a clear image of the object. A graph between the object distance and the image distance , from the lens, is plotted using the same scale for the two axes. A straight line passing through the origin and making an angle of with the x-axis meets the experimental curve at . The coordinates of will be:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

image
A straight line passing through the origin at represents the condition (considering magnitudes).According to the lens formula:

Using sign convention for a real image formed by a convex lens ( is negative, is positive):

When :

Thus, and . The coordinates of point are .
