JEE Main 4 April 2024, Shift 1, Physics Q49

Question 49 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 19 of 30, Section A.

In an experiment to measure focal length (f) of convex lens, the least counts of the measuring scales for the position of object (u) and for the position of image (v) are Δu\Delta u and Δv\Delta v, respectively. The error in the measurement of the focal length of the convex lens will be :
  1. (1)f[Δuu+Δvv]f\left[\frac{\Delta u}{u} + \frac{\Delta v}{v}\right]
  2. (2)2f[Δuu+Δvv]2f\left[\frac{\Delta u}{u} + \frac{\Delta v}{v}\right]
  3. (3)Δuu+Δvv\frac{\Delta u}{u} + \frac{\Delta v}{v}
  4. (4)f2[Δuu2+Δvv2]f^2\left[\frac{\Delta u}{u^2} + \frac{\Delta v}{v^2}\right]Official answer
