Problem

Three separate experiments are performed with 2 cm-tall objects and thin lenses. I. The object is placed at 0.5f0.5f in front of a converging lens. II. The object is placed at 3f3f in front of a converging lens. III. The object is placed at 3f3f in front of a diverging lens. Rank the experiments according to the magnitude of the image height ∣hi∣|h_i|, from greatest to least. (a) II > I > III (b) I > II > III (c) III > I > II (d) I > III > II
