Homework Statement
1)
I have five lenses with f=25 placed at distance 50 from each other, what is the focal length of this system?
2)
A light source is placed in the focal point of a lens with f=50, at d=600 a lens with f=400 is placed, at the focal point of the second lens the image is captured, what is the magnification?
Homework Equations
[itex]\frac{1}{A}[/itex]+[itex]\frac{1}{B}[/itex] = [itex]\frac{1}{F}[/itex] is everything, I think...
The Attempt at a Solution
1) I think the light rays will converge 25 after the last lens because for lens 2 and 4: 1/-f + 1/b = 1/f → b=-∞ so the light is parallel with x-axis after these lenses. For lens 1,3,5: 1/∞ + 1/b = 1/f → b=f so the projection is in the middle and for the last lens 25 away.
2)
I'm thinking the light is parallel to x-axis after the first lens because 1/f +1/b =1/f →
b=∞ and then for the second lens 1/∞ + 1/b = 1/f → image in f, so no magnification has occured.
------
It's not certain both of my solutions are wrong, but probably both are :(.
If someone has a link to info about how to calculate lens after lens that would be great, I can't goggle it since I don't know what this sort of problem is called and my book is terrible.no help.
I am very happy for any help I can get, so thanks in advance.
