In the firft Corol. we have a good practical
rule for finding the principal focus of a lens, having firft found any other focus by trial. And in
Cor. 2. we have another rule tending to the fame
purpofe, which finds the excefs of any other focal
diftance found by trial, above the principal focal
diftance. Both thefe are very eafy in practice.
PROP. XXIII.
The diftance of the radiating point and its focus, 7Z%
made by a convex lens, that is, RF is the leaft pof-
flble, when they are equidiftant from the lens.
For (by Cor. 2. Prop. XXI). RP : PD : : PD :
pF. Now if RP zzzpF, then the fum of the extremes RP, pF is equal to the fum of the means
2PD, which is conftant. But in any other cafe
CPropor. Prop. IX.) the fum of the extremes RP,
pF is greater than the fum of the means, that is,
greater than the fum of the extremes when they
are equal. And therefore RP -Fpf is the leaft
when RP zzpF, and adding Fp, the whole diftance RF is the leaft when RP rr^F, and confequently when RD rr DF.
Cor. The radiating point and its focus is at the
leaft diftance, from each other, when each of them is
diftant from the lens, twice the principal focal diftance.
