Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{f}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({U}=-{f}\)

\(\frac{1}{{V}}-\frac{1}{{U}}=\frac{1}{-{f}} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{V}}=-\frac{2}{{f}}\)

\({V}=\frac{-{f}}{2}\)

\({m}=\frac{{V}}{{U}}=\frac{1}{2}\)

distance \(=\frac{{f}}{2}\)
