An equiconvex lens of radius of curvature $14 \ cm$ is made up of two different materials. The left half and right half of the vertical portion are made up of materials with refractive indices $1.5$ and $1.2$ respectively,as shown in the figure. If a point object is placed at a distance of $40 \ cm$,calculate the image distance. (in $cm$)

Write the lens maker's equation for a thin lens.

$A$ thin lens of material having refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ and focal length of $20 \ cm$ in air has two media of different refractive indices $\mu_1 = 1.2$ and $\mu_2 = 2.5$ covering the upper and lower halves of the lens,respectively,as shown in the figure.
