Question

Two converging lenses are separated by 27.0 cm. The focal length of each lens is 8.90 cm. An object is placed 33.0 cm to the left of the lens that is on the left. Determine the final image distance relative to the lens on the right.

Answer 1

Answer:

1/i + 1/o = 1/f     thin lens equation

i = 33 * 8.9 / (33 - 8.9) = 12.2 cm  to right of first lens

27 - 12.2 = 14.8 cm to left of second lens

i = 14.8 * 8.9 / (14.8 - 8.9) = 22,3 cm to right of second lens
