Two convex lenses in a system?

What happens when you place an object into a two-lens system consisting of two convex lenses?

I think we need a little more info here. Where are the lenses and object located with respect to each other? What are their focal lengths?

Google "2 convex lenses" and look at the images that come up. If you then have questions, please post them.

When an object is placed into a two-lens system consisting of two convex lenses, the light rays from the object will pass through the first lens and be refracted (bent) towards the center of the lens. The light rays will then pass through the second lens and be refracted again, converging at a focal point. This results in an enlarged, inverted image of the object being formed.

The exact position and size of the image will depend on the distance between the two lenses, the focal lengths of the lenses, and the distance of the object from the first lens. If the distance between the two lenses is equal to the sum of their focal lengths, the image will be formed at infinity, resulting in a parallel beam of light.

Additionally, the two lenses in the system will act as a stronger lens, magnifying the image compared to a single convex lens. This is because the first lens will bend the light rays towards the center and the second lens will further converge the light rays, resulting in a larger image.

It is important to note that the overall magnification and image formation in a two-lens system will also depend on the individual properties of each lens, such as curvature and refractive index. Therefore, careful selection and placement of the lenses is crucial in achieving the desired image formation and magnification.
