JEE Main 26 July 2022, Shift 1, Physics Q58

Question 58 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 28 of 30, Section B.

The graph between 1u\frac{1}{u} and 1v\frac{1}{v} for a thin convex lens in order to determine its focal length is plotted as shown in the figure. The refractive index of lens is 1.5 and its both the surfaces have same radius of curvature R. The value of R will be __________ cm. (where uu = object distance, vv = image distance)

The figure, in words

Graph with vertical axis Y labelled 1/v (cm^-1), ticks 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, and horizontal axis X labelled 1/u (cm^-1), ticks -0.02, -0.04, -0.06, -0.08, -0.10 (negative to the left of the origin). A straight line joins point A on the Y axis at 0.10 to point B on the X axis at -0.10.
