Problem

A lens with focal length f=30 cmf=30\,\mathrm{cm} produces a sharp image on a screen of an object at distance a=40 cma=40\,\mathrm{cm} from the lens. A plane-parallel glass plate of thickness d=9 cmd=9\,\mathrm{cm} is placed between the lens and object, perpendicular to the optical axis. Through what distance should the screen be shifted to keep the image distinct? The refractive index of the glass is μ=1.8\mu=1.8.
