Question
Derive the lens formula $\frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{1}{\text{v}}-\frac{1}{\text{u}}$ for a thin concave lens, using the necessary ray diagram.

Answer
The formation of image by a concave lens 'L' is shown in fig. AB is object and A' B' is the image. Triangles ABO and A' B' O are similar $\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{A}'\text{B}}=\frac{\text{OB}}{\text{OB}'}\dots(\text{i})$ Also triangles NOF and A' B' F are similar $\frac{\text{NO}}{\text{A}'\text{B}}=\frac{\text{OP}}{\text{FB}'}$ But NO = AB $\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{A}'\text{B}'}=\frac{\text{OB}}{\text{FB}'}\dots(\text{i})$ Comparing equation (i) and (ii) $\frac{\text{OB}}{\text{OB}'}=\frac{\text{OF}}{\text{FB}'}$ $\Rightarrow\frac{\text{OB}}{\text{OB}'}=\frac{\text{OF}}{\text{OF}-\text{OB}'}$ Using sign conventions of coordinate geometry OB = -u, OB' = -v, OF = -f

One day Chetan’s mother developed a severe stomach ache all of a sudden. She was rushed to the doctor who suggested for an immediate endoscopy test and gave an estimate of expenditure for the same. Chetan immediately contacted his class teacher and shared the information with her. The class teacher arranged for the money and rushed to the hospital. On realising that Chetan belonged to a below average income group family, even the doctor offered concession for the test fee. The test was conducted successfully.
