Problem 105GP
· · · Because a concave lens cannot form a real image of a real object, it is difficult to measure its focal length precisely. One method uses a second, convex, lens to produce a virtual object for the concave lens. Under the proper conditions, the concave lens will form a real image of the virtual object! A student conducting a laboratory project on concave lenses makes the following observations: When a lamp is placed 42.0 cm to the left of a particular convex lens, a real (inverted) image is formed 37.5 cm to the right of the lens. The lamp and convex lens are kept in place while a concave lens is mounted 15.0 cm to the right of the convex lens. A real image of the lamp is now formed 35.0 cm to the right of the concave lens. What is the focal length of each lens?
