13.4 Images Formed by Lenses
AdvancedMCQMathematical24.9k
A horizontal line represents the principal axis. On the axis, an upright object arrow labeled 'Object' stands at a distance labeled 2f to the left of Lens 1, which is depicted as a vertical double-arrow segment labeled 'Lens 1'. Two focal point tick marks labeled 'F1' sit at distance f on either side of Lens 1. To the right of Lens 1, a second vertical double-arrow segment labeled 'Lens 2' is placed at a variable distance labeled d. Two focal point tick marks labeled 'F2' sit at distance f on either side of Lens 2. No rays, back-extensions, or formed images appear. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Two-lens system with variable separation distance d.
An optical system consists of two thin converging lenses, Lens 1 and Lens 2, each with focal length \(f\). An object is fixed at a distance \(2f\) to the left of Lens 1. Lens 2 is positioned to the right of Lens 1 at a variable separation distance \(d\). Three configurations are tested:

Configuration 1: \(d = 2.5f\)
Configuration 2: \(d = 3.5f\)
Configuration 3: \(d = 4.0f\)

Which of the following correctly ranks the magnitude of the total magnification \(|M|\) of the final image in the three configurations?
