Homework Statement
A convex lens is used to project the image of an object on a screen with a magnification m1 . Leaving the lens fixed, the object is moved along the optical axis
by a distance Δs and the screen is moved until the image is located again. If the new
value of the magnification is m2 , Show that the focal lenghth [itex]\frac{Δs}{\frac{1}{m_{2}}-\frac{1}{m_{2}}}[/itex]
Homework Equations
s'/s=m
1/s+1/s'=1/f
Where s is the position of the object and s' is that of the image/screen
The Attempt at a Solution
I used s1=s2+Δs and attempted to rearrange but got nowhere really.. any suggestions?
