An object is placed 40 cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 20 cm. The image formed by this lens becomes the object for a second diverging lens with a focal length of −15 cm. The distance between the two lenses is 50 cm. Calculate the final image distance formed by this two-lens system. Draw a diagram of the optical system.
