When evaluating statements about a two-lens system, it helps to picture how light travels: the first lens forms an image, and that image becomes the object for the second lens as light proceeds along the optical path.
Option 1: 'The object produced by the first lens is the image of the second lens.' This phrasing is incorrect. The object produced by the first lens is the image that the second lens may form or magnify; it is not itself the 'image of the second lens.' In other words, the second lens uses that first-image as its object, not that the first lens’s object is the image of the second lens.
Option 2: 'The image produced by the first lens is the object of the second lens.' This is correct. The light emerging from the first lens creates an image, and that image serves as the object for the second lens, which then forms the final image.
Option 3: 'The object of the first lens is the object of the second lens.' This is false in general. The object for the second lens is the image formed by the first lens, not the same as the original object for the first lens.
Option 4: 'The image produced by the first lens is the image of the second lens.' This is incorrect for similar reasons to Option 1. The first lens produces an image, not an image of the second lens itself; the second lens acts on that image as its object.
Option 5: 'The eye is a single lens system, but contacts or eyeglasses with the eye are a double lens system.' This is true in practical terms. The eye on its own behaves like a single optical element, while adding contact lenses or eyeglasses introduces additional refractive surfaces, effectively creating a two-lens (or multi-lens) system in the overall optical path.
Option 6: 'Diopters are units of inverse meters, with higher values corresponding to stronger refraction effects.' This statement is correct. Diopters measure reciprocal meters and larger values indicate greater refractive power of a lens.
Option 7: 'To find the total optical power of a two-lens system, you multiply the individual lens optical powers together.' This is false. For thin lenses in air that are in contact, powers add: P_total = P1 + P2. When lenses are separated by a distance, the combination is more complex and involves the separation distance; it is not a simple multiplication. Therefore, this statement misstates the correct relationship.
