Two-lens system with variable separation distance d.
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?
