What happens when you place an object into a two-lens system consisting of two convex lenses?

A convex lens is a type of lens that is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. It is also known as a converging lens because it causes light rays to converge or come together at a point behind the lens.
Two convex lenses can be used in a system to magnify an object or to create a more powerful lens for focusing light. The two lenses work together to bend and focus the light rays, creating a larger and more clear image.
The focal lengths of the two convex lenses determine the magnification and clarity of the image produced. If the focal lengths are different, the image will be magnified. If the focal lengths are the same, the image will be the same size but may be clearer and more focused.
A positive lens system consists of two convex lenses, while a negative lens system consists of two concave lenses. Positive lens systems are used for magnification and focusing, while negative lens systems are used for reducing or correcting aberrations in an image.
The total magnification of a system with two convex lenses can be calculated by multiplying the individual magnification of each lens. The magnification of a single convex lens is equal to the ratio of the image distance to the object distance. Therefore, the total magnification is equal to the ratio of the final image distance to the initial object distance.
