In an experiment to measure1 the focal length f of a converging lens object distances u and corresponding image distance were measured and 1/u plotted against 1/v to obtain the graph illustrated. How would f be determined from this graph?

In an experiment to measure1 the focal length f of a converging lens object distances u and corresponding image distance were measured and 1/u plotted against 1/v to obtain the graph illustrated. How would f be determined from this graph?

A.

f= the slope of the graph

B.

f= the intercept on the 1/u axis

C.

f =the intercept on the 1/v axis

D.

f = reciprocal of the slope

E.

f = reciprocal of the intercept on either axes

Correct answer is E
