Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

A lens is a portion of a transparent medium bounded by two spherical surfaces or one spherical surface and one plane surface.

Explanation:

Thin lens equation is given by,

1v+1u=1f(1)Where, v is the image distance.           u is the object distance.           f is the focal length of the lens.

So when object distance is very large (i.e.,u (say)) then the above equation boils down to,

1v+1=1f1v+0=1f1v=1f

So the thin lens equation predict value of 1f equals 1v.That is 1f=1v.
