Question
![In the image, there is a diagram illustrating an optical system consisting of a diverging lens and a concave spherical mirror, with an object placed halfway between the two. The distance between the lens and mirror is \( d = 23.7 \, \text{cm} \). The mirror's radius of curvature is \( 20.5 \, \text{cm} \), and the lens has a focal length of \( f_{\text{lens}} = -18.4 \, \text{cm} \).
