Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.04\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & P=\frac{1}{f} \\ & \text { So } P_1=\frac{1}{F_1} \Rightarrow F_1=\frac{1}{2.5} \\ & \text { Next } F_2=\frac{1}{2.6} \\ & \left|\frac{\Delta F}{F_1}\right|=\frac{\left|F_2-F_1\right|}{F_1}=\left|\frac{F_2}{F_1}-1\right| \\ & \Rightarrow\left|\frac{\Delta F}{F_1}\right|=\left|\frac{2.5}{2.6}-1\right|=\frac{0.1}{2.6} \approx 0.04\end{aligned}\)
