Question

What is mean by the vertical intercepts in optics?

Answer 1

c=
`(1)/(f)`

Step-by-step explanation:

using mirror formula

we know

`(1)/(u) + (1)/(v)=(1)/(f)\\`

where u is object distance

v is image distance

f is focal length of the mirror

from the above equation we can write

`(1)/(u)= -(1)/(v)+(1)/(f)`

comparing equation with

y= m x + c

c comes out to be
`(1)/(f)`
