Combination of spherical lenses

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the optical properties of two thin lenses with focal lengths of +15 cm (converging) and -15 cm (diverging) positioned 60 cm apart, with an object (a bird) located 25 cm in front of the converging lens. The image of the bird is described as virtual, upright, and magnified. Additionally, if the bird's height is 10 cm, the height of its image is calculated to be greater than 10 cm due to magnification. Another scenario involves a diverging lens and a converging lens, where the object placed at x = -12 cm results in a virtual image. The discussion emphasizes the importance of lens combinations in determining image characteristics.

Two thin lenses having focal lengths of +15 cm and -15 cm are positioned 60 cm apart. A bird stands 25 cm in front of of the converging lens.

a. describe the image of the bird. Is it real or virtual? Upright or inverted? Magnified or reduced?

b. If the bird is 10 cm in height, what is the height of its image?

Combination of lenses (Convex & Concave)

Two lenses are placed on the x-axis of a line. The first lens is a diverging lens with a focal length of 9 cm placed x= -8 cm. The second lens is a converging lens with focal length 4 cm placed x= 6 cm. If an object is placed at x= -12 cm, what is the position of the image, image type (virtual or real), and the magnification of the image?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
