Answer #1

diverging, converging is correct option.

Because Surface high pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere have a clockwise rotation with wind turning slightly outward away from the highest pressure. This causes air to diverge, or move away, from the center of the high near the ground.

At the surface, low pressure systems have a counterclockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere, with the wind turning slightly inward towards the lowest pressure. This causes air to converge, or come together, at the center of the low near the ground.

Consider a two-lens system consisting of a diverging lens (f=-27.0 cm) and a converging lens (f=22.0 cm). An object is placed 7.0 cm to the left of the converging lens and a final image is produced by the two-lens system that is 20.0 cm to the left of the diverging lens. If the converging lens is to the left of the diverging lens, how far apart are the two lenses?
