LENS FORMULA

 

convex lens formula
Let AB represent an object placed at right angles to the principal axis at a distance greater than the focal length f of the convex lens. The image A1B1 is formed beyond 2F2 and is real and inverted.
OA = Object distance = u
OA1 = Image distance = v
OF2 = Focal length = f
OAB and OA1B1 are similar


But we know that OC = AB
the above equation can be written as


From equation (1) and (2), we get



Dividing equation (3) throughout by uvf
