(a) Derive Equation 3 for Gaussian optics from Equation 1 by approximating cos in

Chapter 11, Problem 34

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Derive Equation 3 for Gaussian optics from Equation 1 by approximating cos in Equation 2 by its first-degree Taylor polynomial. (b) Show that if cos is replaced by its third-degree Taylor polynomial in Equation 2, then Equation 1 becomes Equation 4 for third-order optics. [Hint: Use the first two terms in the binomial series for ,o 21 and ,i 21 . Also, use < sin .]
