For convex lens, Object distance from the lens, u = -40cm Focal length, f = 30 cm Object size, 0 = 1.5 cm Using lens formula $\frac{1}{\text{v}}-\frac{1}{\text{u}}=\frac{1}{\text{f}}$ We get, $\frac{1}{\text{v}}-\frac{1}{-40}=\frac{1}{30}$ $\frac{1}{\text{v}}=\frac{1}{30}-\frac{1}{40}=\frac{1}{120}$i.e., v= 120 cm (for real object)
From relation, Magnification, $\text{m}=-\frac{\text{v}}{\text{u}}$, we get $\text{m}=-\frac{120}{-40}=+3$ The image formed by the convex lens becomes object for concave lens at a distance of (120 - 8) = 112 cm on the other side. For concave lens, Focal length, f = - 20 cm Object distance, u = +112 cm (on the other side) Image distance, v = ? Using lens formula, we get $\frac{1}{\text{v}}-\frac{1}{\text{u}}=\frac{1}{\text{f}}$ Now, $\frac{1}{\text{v}}-\frac{1}{112}=\frac{1}{-20}$ $\Rightarrow \ \frac{1}{\text{v}}=-\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{112}$ $=-\frac{23}{560}$ $\text{v}=-\frac{560}{23} \ \text{cm}$ (for virtual object) Using the formula of magnification m = $\frac{\text{v}}{\text{u}}$, we get $\text{m}=-\frac{\frac{560}{23}}{-112}$ $=-\frac{560}{23}\times\frac{1}{-112}$ $=-\frac{5}{23}$ Net magnification, $\text{m}=3\times\Big(\frac{-5}{23}\Big)$ $=-\frac{15}{23}$ = 0. 652 ( negative due to virtual image) and as, $\text{m}=\frac{\text{I}}{0}$ I = m × 0 = 0.652 × 1.5 = 0.98 cm (size of final image).
