In an experiment to measure1 the focal length f of a converging lens object distances u and corresponding image distance were measured and 1/u plotted against 1/v to obtain the graph illustrated. How would f be determined from this graph?
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
f= the slope of the graph
B
f= the intercept on the 1/u axis
C
f =the intercept on the 1/v axis
D
f = reciprocal of the slope
E
f = reciprocal of the intercept on either axes
Verified Correct Answer: E.
