Answer

$-30.0cm$

Work Step by Step

We know that $d_{i1}=\frac{d_{\circ1}f}{d_{\circ1}-f_1}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d_{i1}=\frac{(30.0cm)(20.0cm)}{30.0cm-20.0cm}$ $d_{i1}=60.0cm$ Now we can find the required focal length $\frac{1}{f_2}=\frac{1}{d_{\circ2}}+\frac{1}{di2}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\frac{1}{f_2}=\frac{1}{-20.0cm}+\frac{1}{60.0cm}$ $\implies f_2=-30.0cm$
