Answer:

2f

Explanation:

The formula for the object - image relationship of thin lens is given as;

1/s + 1/s' = 1/f

Where;

s is object distance from lens

s' is the image distance from the lens

f is the focal length of the lens

Total distance of the object and image from the lens is given as;

d = s + s'

We earlier said that; 1/s + 1/s' = 1/f

Making s' the subject, we have;

s' = sf/(s - f)

Since d = s + s'

Thus;

d = s + (sf/(s - f))

Expanding this, we have;

d = s²/(s - f)

The derivative of this with respect to d gives;

d(d(s))/ds = (2s/(s - f)) - s²/(s - f)²

Equating to zero, we have;

(2s/(s - f)) - s²/(s - f)² = 0

(2s/(s - f)) = s²/(s - f)²

Thus;

2s = s²/(s - f)

s² = 2s(s - f)

s² = 2s² - 2sf

2s² - s² = 2sf

s² = 2sf

s = 2f

Brut [27]

A sound wave leaves the loudspeaker. As it travels, it experiences a temporary increase in wavelength and then returns to its original wavelength.  The sound wave traveled through a helium balloon (helium is less dense than air could explain this change in wavelength

The pattern of disruption brought on by energy moving away from the sound source is known as a sound wave. Longitudinal waves are what makeup sound. This indicates that the direction of energy wave propagation and particle vibrational propagation are parallel. The atoms oscillate when they are put into vibration.

A high-pressure and a low-pressure zone are created in the medium as a result of this constant back and forth action. Compressions and rarefactions, respectively, are terms used to describe these high- and low-pressure zones. The sound waves go from one medium to another as a result of these regions being transmitted to the surrounding media.
