Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship among u, v, and f in the context of a lens can be described by the lens formula:
1/v - 1/u = 1/f
where:
- u is the object distance (distance between the object and the optical center of the lens),
- v is the image distance (distance between the image and the optical center of the lens), and
- f is the focal length of the lens.
According to the lens formula, the reciprocal of the image distance subtracted from the reciprocal of the object distance is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length.
