Two systems are formed from a converging lens and a diverging lens, as shown in parts a and b of the drawing. (The point labeled "Fconverging" is the focal point of the converging lens.) An object is placed inside the focal point of lens 1 at a distance of 7.70 cm to the left of lens 1. The focal lengths of the converging and diverging lenses are 15.0 and -20.0 cm respectively. The distance between the lenses is 50.0 cm. Determine the final image distance for each system, measured with respect to lens 2.

1 answer

System A: The final image distance for system A is -25.0 cm, measured with respect to lens 2.

System B: The final image distance for system B is -35.0 cm, measured with respect to lens 2.
