A candle 20 cm high is placed 40 cm in front of the center of a thin lens. This lens has a focal length of 10 cm. A second thin lens, also with a focal length of 10 cm, is placed 40 cm from the first. Find:

a) The location $s'$ of the image due to the first lens and its magnification. Indicate whether the image is real or virtual.

b) The location $s''$ of the image (of the image of the first lens) of the second lens. Find the overall magnification, and indicate if the final image is real or virtual.

c) Draw a ray diagram to locate the image in agreement with your answers to a and b. Be sure to include and label 3 rays that uniquely specify the image locations.
