An erect image of an object is formed by two convex lenses of equal focal lengths. Show that the least distance between the two lenses must be twice the focal length of either. Draw the ray diagram to illustrate the answer.

For the image formation by a lens of focal length f, shows that xx'=f2, where x is the distance of the object from the first focal point and x' the distance of the image from the second focal point.

There is an object on one side and a screen on the other side of a convex lens. Show that there are two positions of the convex lens for which a real image of the object is formed on the screen if the distance between the object of the screen is more than four times the focal length of the lens.

If x be the distance between the two positions of the lens and d the distance between the object and the screen, then show that f=d2-x2/4d.
