2. A student carries out an experiment to investigate the relationship between object distance,
u, and the magnification, m, of a convex lens.
The student used different object distance and the corresponding magnification is
1
determined. A graph of
against u is plotted as shown in Diagram 2.1 on page 10.
m
(a) Based on the graph in Diagram 2.1,
