Question

Two-lens systems. In the figure below, stick figure O (the object) stands on the common central axis of two thin, symmetric lenses. Lens 1 is mounted within the boxed region closer to O, which is at object distance p1. Lens 2 is mounted within the farther boxed region, at distance d.

The table refers to the focal distances f1 and f2 for lens 1 and lens 2 respectively, the image distance i2 for the final image produced by lens 2 (the final image produced by the system) and the overall lateral magnification m for the system. All distances are in centimeters. Fill in the missing information, including signs.

Explanation / Answer

image distance for the first lens:

       q1 = [1/f1 - 1/p1]-1

           =[1/6.3 - 1/7.8]-1

           = -32.76 cm

the object distance p2 is

   p2 = 12+32.76 = 44.76 cm

the required image distance is,

    q2 = [1/f2 - 1/p2]-1

        = [-1/6.4 - 1/44.76]-1

   = -5.6 cm
