$A$ thin plano-convex lens made of glass of refractive index $1.5$ is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $1.2$. When the plane side of the lens is silver-coated for complete reflection,the lens immersed in the liquid behaves like a concave mirror of focal length $0.2 \ m$. The radius of curvature of the curved surface of the lens is: (in $m$)
