# Q 9.21 (b) An object 1.5 cm in size is placed on the side of the convex lens in the arrangement (a) above. The distance between the object and the convex lens is 40cm. Determine the magnification produced by the two-lens system, and the size of the image.

Given

Object height = 1.5 cm

Object distance from convex lens = -40cm

According to lens formula

$\frac{1}{v_{fromconvex}}=\frac{1}{f_{convex}}+\frac{1}{u_{fromconvex}}$

$\frac{1}{v_{fromconvex}}=\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{-40}=\frac{1}{120}$

$v_{fromconvex}=120$

Magnificatio due to convex lens:

$m_{convex}=-\frac{v}{u}=-\frac{120}{-40}=3$

The image of convex lens will act as an object for concave lens,

so,

$\frac{1}{v_{fromconcave}}=\frac{1}{f_{concave}}+\frac{1}{u_{fromconcave}}$

$u_{concave}= 120 - 8 = 112$

$\frac{1}{v_{fromconcave}}= \frac{1}{-20}+\frac{1}{112}$

$\frac{1}{v_{fromconcave}}= -\frac{92}{2240}$

$v_{fromconcave}= \frac{-2240}{92}$

Magnification due to concave lens :

$m_{concave}= \frac{2240}{92}*\frac{1}{112}=\frac{20}{92}$

The combined magnification:

$m_{combined}=m_{convex}*m_{concave}$

$m_{combined}=3*\frac{20}{92}=0.652$

Hence height of the image = $m_{combined}*h$

= 0.652 * 1.5 = 0.98cm

Hence height of image is 0.98cm.
