Combination of thin lens and concave mirror

[QUOTE="Steve4Physics, post: 6479116, member: 681522"] Hi. There are a number of problems with the question. The refractive index of the lens is missing. This makes it impossible to find the focal length of the lens. A concave spherical mirror has only 1 focal point, so saying [SIZE=5]“If its focal points F1 and F2 are 4.58 cm from the vertex of the lens”[/SIZE] makes no sense. The question is incomplete. It looks like part a) has been omitted. It is often useful or necessary to see the whole question. In your answer to b) ① you appear to be using the wrong value (4.58cm) for the focal length of the lens. Edit. I'd already answered before I saw your post #2 saying you have solved the problem. But I would be very interested to know the resolution of the problems listed above! [/QUOTE]
