JEE Advanced · Physics · 24. Ray Optics
A student performed the experiment of determination of focal length of a concave mirror by \(u-v\) method using an optical bench of length \(1.5 \mathrm{~m}\). The focal length of the mirror used is 24 \(\mathrm{cm}\). The maximum error in the location of the image can be \(0.2 \mathrm{~cm}\).
The 5 sets of \((u, v)\) values recorded by the student (in \(\mathrm{cm})\) are : \((42,56),(48\), \(48),(60,40),(66,33),(78,39)\). The data set(s) that cannot come from experiment and is (are) incorrectly recorded, is(are)
- A \((42,56)\)
- B \((48,48)\)
- C \((66,33)\)
- D \((78,39)\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \((78,39)\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Values of options (c) and (d) don't match with the mirror formula,
\(\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\)
\(\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\)

In each case, the force acting on the particle is either zero or conservative. In List-II, five physical quantities of the particle are mentioned: is the linear momentum, is the angular momentum about the origin, K is the kinetic energy, U is the potential energy and E is the total energy. Match each path in List-I with those quantities in List-II, which are conserved for that path.
