Question
Question 2 The relation between the position of the image and object for a thin lens is given
by the thin lens equation:
1
1
do +a, =7
where f is the focal length of the lens. Using the fact that 1 divided by a very large number is
nearly 0, show that the thin lens equation predicts that an object located at the focal point gives
an image that is infinitely far away, that is, when d; is very large, do = f.
