The distance between an object and a divergent lens is \(\mathrm{m}\) times the focal length of the lens. The linear magnification produced by the lens is

  1. A \(\mathrm{m}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{~m}}\)
  3. C \(m+1\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{m+1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{m+1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{u}=-\mathrm{mf}\) \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{1}{(-m f)}=-\frac{1}{f} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}=-\frac{1}{f}\left(1+\frac{1}{m}\right) \Rightarrow-\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{u}}=\left(\frac{1}{1+m}\right)\)
