Calculate the focal length of a reading glass of a person if his distance of distinct vision is \( 75 \) \( \mathrm{cm} \).

  1. A \( 25.6 \mathrm{~cm} \)
  2. B ○ \( 37.5 \mathrm{~cm} \)
  3. C \( 75.2 \mathrm{~cm} \)
  4. D \( 100.4 \mathrm{~cm} \)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) ○ \( 37.5 \mathrm{~cm} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \( v=-75 \mathrm{~cm} ; u=-25 \mathrm{~cm} \).
Using \( \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u} \), we get
\( \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{-75}-\frac{1}{-25}=\frac{-1+3}{75}=\frac{2}{75} \)
Therefore \( f=\frac{75}{2}=37.5 \mathrm{~cm} \)
Thus, focal length of reading glass is \( 37.5 \mathrm{~cm} \).
