Problem

When an object is placed 60 cm60\,\text{cm} in front of a diverging lens, a virtual image is formed 20 cm20\,\text{cm} from the lens. The lens is made of a material of refractive index μ=1.65\mu=1.65, and its two spherical surfaces have the same radius of curvature. What is the value of this radius?
