The graph between object distance u and image distance v for a lens is given below. The focal length of the lens is
- $5\pm 0.1$
- $5\pm 0.05$
- $0.5\pm 0.1$
- $0.5\pm 0.5$
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}$ we have,
$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{-10} or f=+5$
Further, $\hspace15mm \Delta u=0.1$
$\hspace15mm \Delta v=0.1 \hspace15mm $(from the graph)
Now, differentiating the lens formula, we have
$\hspace15mm \frac{\Delta f}{f^2}=\frac{\Delta v}{v^2}+\frac{\Delta u}{u^2}$
$\hspace15mm \Delta f=\Bigg(\frac{\Delta v}{v^2}+\frac{\Delta u}{u^2}\Bigg)$
Substituting the values, we have
$\hspace15mm \Delta f=\Bigg(\frac{0.1}{10^2}+\frac{0.1}{10^2}\Bigg)(5)^2 =0.05$
$\therefore \hspace15mm f\pm \Delta f=5\pm 0.05$

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
The left and right compartments of a thermally isolated container of length $L$ are separated by a thermally conducting, movable piston of area $A$. The left and right compartments are filled with $\frac{3}{2}$ and 1 moles of an ideal gas, respectively. In the left compartment the piston is attached by a spring with spring constant $k$ and natural length $\frac{2L}{5}$. In thermodynamic equilibrium, the piston is at a distance $\frac{L}{2}$ from the left and right edges of the container as shown in the figure. Under the above conditions, if the pressure in the right compartment is $P = \frac{kL}{A} \alpha$, then the value of $\alpha$ is ____

Spherical Lenses
Lenses that are made by combining two spherical transparent surfaces are called spherical lenses. In general, there are two kinds of spherical lenses. Lenses that are made by joining two spherical surfaces that bulge outward are convex lenses, whereas lenses that are made by joining two spherical surfaces that curve inward are concave lenses.
Properties of Convex lens:
- In this, the lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges.
- They have a positive focal length.
- It intersects the incident rays towards the principal axis
- These lenses are used in the camera, focus sunlight, projector microscope, simple telescope, overhead projector, magnifying glasses, etc.
Properties of Concave lens:
- These lenses are thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges.
- They have a negative focal length.
- It parts the incident rays away from the principal axis.
- These are used in the glasses, spy holes, some telescopes in the doors, etc.
