    Calculating Refractive Power of Two Lenses Combination

    i got the answer, Data, thank you... 0. those tricky profs sometimes, I'm sure they get a kick outta kids like me stressing out about this. thank you again! -shawna

    Calculating Refractive Power of Two Lenses Combination

    but what am i supposed to use for the object distance?? i don't even know where to start, really... using: 1/p+1/q=1/f i don't know how to find any of the variables, for object distance, image distance, and then the focal length... i guess i don't understand what you are saying, sorry.

    Calculating Refractive Power of Two Lenses Combination

    hey- I've been working on this one for quite some time now and just can't seem to get it: Two converging lenses with focal lengths 10 cm and 20 cm are placed 30 cm apart. Rays from a very distant object are impinged on the lens system parallel to the principal axis. What is the refractive...
