Question

Given $\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}$ ; find $v$ , if $u = 3 f$ and $f = 10 c m$

Open in App

Solution

Given $\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}$
Multiply both sides by $f u v$
Then $v u = f u + f v$
Or $v u - f v = f u$
Or $v (u - f) = f u$
Or $v = \frac{f u}{u - f}$ Given $u = 3 f$
Then $v = \frac{f \times 3 f}{3 f - f}$
given $f = 10 c m$
So $v = \frac{3 f^{2}}{2 f}$
Or $v = \frac{3 \times 100}{2 \times 10} = \frac{300}{20} = 15 c m$
