(choose chapter or problem)

The formula 1/p ' 1/i ! 1/f is called the Gaussian form of the thin-lens formula. Another form of this formula, the Newtonian form, is obtained by considering the distance x from the object to the first focal point and the distance x# from the second focal point to the image. Show that xx# ! f 2 is the Newtonian form of the thin-lens formula.
