Vedclass · Answer

(B) The mirror formula is given by: $\frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}$.Rearranging this equation in the form of a linear equation $y = mx + c$,we get: $\frac{1}{v} = -\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{f}$.Here,$y = \frac{1}{v}$,$x = \frac{1}{u}$,slope $m = -1$,and intercept $c = \frac{1}{f}$.Since the intercept $c = \frac{1}{f}$ is non-zero for a spherical mirror,the graph of $\frac{1}{v}$ versus $\frac{1}{u}$ is a straight line that does not pass through the origin.

In the case of a spherical mirror,if the object distance $(u)$ and image distance $(v)$ are measured from the pole,then the graph plotted between $(1/u)$ and $(1/v)$ will be:
