In a lens laboratory investigation, students record the object distance sos_o and image distance sis_i for a single data trial. Which of the following expressions would correctly yield the focal length ff from those two measured quantities? a) sisosi+so\dfrac{s_i s_o}{s_i+s_o} b) si+so2\dfrac{s_i+s_o}{2} c) 1si+1so\dfrac{1}{s_i}+\dfrac{1}{s_o} d) sisoso−si\dfrac{s_i s_o}{s_o-s_i}
