Homework Statement
Three thin lenses, each with a focal length of 40.0 cm, are aligned on a common axis; adjacent lenses are separated by 52.0 cm.
Find the position of the image of a small object on the axis, 80.0 cm to the left of the first lens.
Homework Equations
1/s + 1/s' = 1/f
The Attempt at a Solution
So I started this question out with doing:
1/80 + 1/s' = 1/40
solving for s' = 80.
However, my image ends up being between lens 2 and lens 3, 28 cm from lens 2 and 24 cm from lens 3. Now I'm stuck because I don't know what to do next. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you in advance.
