If we put \(v=V+f\) and \(u=U+f\), the mirror formula \(\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\) becomes (A) \((V+f)(U+f)=f^{2}\) (B) \(V U=f^{2}\) (C) \((V-f)(U-f)=f^{2}\) (D) \(V U=2 f^{2}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The correct answer is (B) \(VU = f^2\).

Step by step solution

01

Substitute the given values

Replace \(v\) with \(V+f\) and \(u\) with \(U+f\) in the mirror formula: \[\frac{1}{V+f}+\frac{1}{U+f}=\frac{1}{f}\]
02

Find a common denominator

To simplify the expression on the left-hand side of the equation, we need to find a common denominator for the two fractions. The common denominator here would be \((V+f)(U+f)\). So, the equation becomes: \[\frac{U+f}{(V+f)(U+f)} + \frac{V+f}{(V+f)(U+f)} = \frac{1}{f}\]
03

Combine the fractions and simplify

Now, we can combine the two fractions on the left-hand side of the equation into one and simplify: \[\frac{(U + f) + (V + f)}{(V + f)(U + f)} = \frac{1}{f}\] This simplifies to: \[\frac{U + V + 2f}{(V + f)(U + f)} = \frac{1}{f}\]
04

Cross-multiply and simplify further

To get rid of the fractions and isolate the terms, we will cross-multiply both sides of the equation: \[(U+V+2f)(f)=(V+f)(U+f)\] Expanding and simplifying we get: \[Uf + Vf + 2f^2 = VU + Uf + Vf + f^2\] Subtracting \(Uf\) and \(Vf\) from both sides: \[2f^2 = VU + f^2\] Subtracting \(f^2\) from both sides, we get the final simplified form of the equation: \[VU = f^2\]
05

Identify the correct option

Now that we have the final simplified form of the equation, we can compare it to the given options and find the correct answer. The simplified equation \(VU = f^2\) matches with option (B). Therefore, the correct answer is (B) \(VU = f^2\).
