SUMMARY
An object placed two focal lengths from a diverging lens produces a virtual image. The magnification (m) is calculated to be 1, indicating that the image size is equal to the object size. The image forms on the same side as the object, with a distance (d_i) of -2f. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using the Thin Lens formula for accurate calculations.
