The distance between an object and a divergent lens is m times the focal length of the lens. The linear magnification produced by the lens is

A

m

B

`1/m`

C

m+1

D

`1/(m+1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) Given, u=mf
`therefore 1/v-1/((-mf))=1/f rArr1/v=1/f""(1+1/m)`
`rArr -1/v=m/((m+1))rArr-v/u=1/(1+m)`
