Question

(2) An object is located 40 cm from the first of two thin converging lenses of focal lengths 20 cm and 10 cm, respectively (Fig. A1). The lenses are separated by 30 cm. Determine the location and the lateral magnification of the final image formed by the two-lens system. State whether the final image is upright or inverted. f1 = 20 cm f2 = 10 cm O 40 cm 30 cm Fig. A1

Step 1

We can use the lens formula: $\frac{1}{f_1} = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i}$ where $f_1 = 20\,\text{cm}$ is the focal length of the first lens, $d_o = 40\,\text{cm}$ is the object distance, and $d_i$ is the image distance. Plugging in the values, we Show more…
