What does focal length mean for a converget lens?

Expert Solution

Focal length is the distance between the center of a convergent lens and the focal point of the lens(the point where parallel rays of light meet, or converge).

A converging lens with a focal length of 4.0cm is to the left of a second identical lens. When a feather is placed 11cm to the left of the first lens, the final image is the same size and orientation as the feather itself. What is the separation between the lenses? Express your answer using two significant figures.
