SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the image size formed by a thick lens using the appropriate equations. Specifically, the equation for the height of the image (Hi) can be derived from the lens maker's formula and the magnification formula. For an object height of 0.03 cm, users are directed to resources such as HyperPhysics for detailed explanations and examples. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between object height, image height, and the lens parameters.
