Question
It shows a thin converging lens with radius R1 = 9 cm and R2 = -11 cm. This lens is placed in front of a hollow mirror of radius R = 8cm.
a) Find the refractive index if the focal lengths F1 and F2 are 5 cm from the top of the lens.
b) If there is a distance of 20 cm between the lens and the mirror and an object is placed 8 cm away from the left side of the lens, where is the final image and how large is it compared to the first image?
