Diverging and Converging lenses in a system

[DrewHizzy]

Homework Statement

A)Find the final position of the image (from the object, I assume?)
B)Find the size of the final image of the object.

Homework Equations

1/f = 1/do + 1/di

The Attempt at a Solution

1) Solved first distance: 1/5 - 1/4 = 1/di --> 4/20 - 5/20, di = -20cm
2) Use di1 for do in second calculation, but my answer is incorrect.[/B]

Where did you take the second lense into account?

Where did you take the second lense into account?

That's what I'm having trouble determining; what do I use for "do" in my second calculation?

 

[mfb]

The distance between the (virtual) image and the lense. Where in the sketch is this image?

if di1 = -20cm, doesn't that place it behind the concave lens?

 

[mfb]

What is "behind", left or right?

 

[DrewHizzy]

What is "behind", left or right?

If I had to guess I'd say to the right of Lens 2

Again, this is the piece I do not understand.

I answered Part A correctly with 9.6cm, hi/ho = di/do for part B? Do I make two calculations like Part A?

 

[mfb]

For B, I think you don't have to consider the lenses separately (but it is possible) as you know the result of both together already. You just have to be careful which distances to use.
