\begin{wrapfigure}[9]{r}{0.6\textwidth} \vspace{-20pt} \begin{resizebox}{0.6\textwidth}{!}{ [diagram — see PDF] } \end{resizebox} \end{wrapfigure} Three lenses are put together so that they form an equilateral triangle. The lenses have one common focal point. A point light source is placed at the point A, which is at a distance 2f2f from the tip of the triangle, where ff is the focal length of the lenses. Explain by constructing on the draft whether a part of the light reaches the point B or not.
