Given:

Distance of object from the first lens: u=−25 cm

Focal length of the 1st lens: f =20 cm

Use the lens formula to find the image distance of the first lens:

1 1 1
− =
v u f
1 1 1
= +
v f u
1 1 1 1
= − =
v 20 25 100
v=100 cm
The image from the first lens (which is at a distance v=100 cm away from the first lens) will serve as the
object for the 2nd lens.

Since the 2nd lens is 60 cm away from the 1st lens, the distance of the object from the 2 nd lens is:

u2=100−60=40 cm

Focal length of the 2nd lens is: f 2=25 cm

Substitute to the lens formula to solve for the image distance from the 2 nd lens v 2:

1 1 1 13
= + =
v 2 25 40 200

v 2=

v 2=15.38 ≈16 cm
