(N/A) The lens formula for a thin lens relates the object distance $(u)$,the image distance $(v)$,and the focal length $(f)$ of the lens.
It is given by the equation:
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u}$
Where:
$f$ is the focal length of the lens.
$v$ is the distance of the image from the optical center of the lens.
$u$ is the distance of the object from the optical center of the lens.
