EXAMPLE OF USE: Focal length of a converging lens

How to find the exact focal length of a converging lens.

If the converging lens has a focal length such that the system of the converging plus diverging lenses is still converging, it is possible to recover the focal length of the system by using the thin lens equation (valid in the “Gauss approximation”).

Thin lens equation: u is the object distance, v is the image distance and f is the focal length.
