#34.B :: Complete the following for a thin converging lens with a focal length f.
(a) Determine the minimum possible distance between an object and its real image. Think about what that means by drawing out the configuration; use L = s + s' then take a derivative with respect tos to solve for this minimum.
(b) Once you have an equation for L in terms of s (from above), take s = kf, where k is a positive, real number and derive two equations: L/f and s/f. Both should end as functions of k. Then, graph the distance between the object and the real image as a function of the distance of the object from the lens by observing what happens to L/f when k changes. Use your graph to dispute or confirm the result found in part (a). Explain how and include your plot with your submission.
