(i) A point object, O is on the principle axis of a spherical surface having a radius of curvature, R. Draw a diagram to obtain the relation between the object and image distances, the refractive indices of the media and the radius of curvature of the spherical surface.

(ii) Write the Lens Maker's formula and use it to obtain the range of values of μ (The refractive index of the material of the lens) for which the focal length of an equiconvex lens, kept in air, would have a greater magnitude than that of the radius of curvature of its two surfaces.
