a. If I have a magnifying glass that has two different lenses on it, how can I determine which lens has a longer focal length, and is there a place where you can see a real image in one lens and a virtual image in the other? b. How can I use parallax to confirm that the real image that can be seen in the magnifying glass is in front of the lens? - which is between the lens and the eye

Question

a. If I have a magnifying glass that has two different lenses on it, how can I determine which lens has a longer focal length, and is there a place where you can see a real image in one lens and a virtual image in the other?

b. How can I use parallax to confirm that the real image that can be seen in the magnifying glass is in front of the lens? - which is between the lens and the eye

Please explain both a and b.. Thanks

Expert Solution
Step 1

(a) Let there be a magnifying glass with two lenses of focal length say f1 and f2. We need to determine which of these two lenses has a longer focal length. 

(b) We need to find if the image is in front of the lens or not using parallax.
