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)

  1. A \((42,56)\)
  2. B \((48,48)\)
  3. C \((66,33)\)
  4. D \((78,39)\)
Verified Solution

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,
\(\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\)
