To solve the problem step by step, we need to determine where a point object should be placed in front of the first convex lens so that the image formed by the system (two lenses and a plane mirror) appears at the same location as the object. ### Step 1: Understand the System We have two convex lenses with a focal length \( f = 10 \, \text{cm} \) each, separated by a distance of \( d = 30 \, \text{cm} \). A plane mirror is placed after the second lens. We need to find the object distance \( u_1 \) for the first lens such that the final image coincides with the object. ### Step 2: Determine the Image Position from the First Lens The image formed by the first lens will act as the object for the second lens. According to the lens formula: \[ ...
