The focal f to a mirror is given by `(1)/(f) = (1)/(u) + (1)/(v)` where u and v represent object and image distance respectively then

A

`(Delta f)/(f) = (Delta u)/(u) + (Delta v)/(v)`

B

`(Delta f)/(f) = (Delta u)/(v) + (Delta v)/(u)`

C

`(Delta f)/(f) = (Delta u)/(u) + (Delta v)/(v)- (Delta(u +v))/(u +v)`

D

`(Delta f)/(f) = (Delta u)/(u) + (Delta v)/(v)+ (Delta u)/(u + v) +(Delta v)/(u+v)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`f = (uv)/(u+v),(Delta f)/(f) = (Delta u)/(u)+(Delta v)/(v) +(Delta(u+v))/(u+v)`
`= (Delta u)/(u) +(Delta v)/(v) +(Delta u)/(u+v)+ (Deltav)/(u+v)`
